HORTICOLAS CASAL DA AVÓ, LDA.

The year was 1953, and young Manuel Jorge Gomes was finishing his basic education when he inherited the first lands that today are part of the various properties of Hortícolas Casal D'Avó. Initially, he produced wheat, barley, and corn, later moving on to turnips, which had a high demand in the Ribeira market in Lisbon. Currently, Hortícolas Casal D'Avó produces 10 varieties of high-quality fruits and vegetables to meet the needs of its various customers. Located in Ribatejo, more precisely in the municipality of Torres Novas, Hortícolas Casal D'Avó is now managed by Mr. Manuel Jorge Gomes and his 5 children, who have accompanied their parents in the production and marketing of fruits and vegetables. In 2010, sales volume exceeded 1 million euros, which has been increasing ever since, approaching 3 million in 2021. All thanks to the commitment and dedication of the Gomes family and their employees, who already cultivate more than 450 hectares and continue to expand with future acquisitions. To ensure that products reach the end customer with the highest level of quality and freshness, Hortícolas Casal D'Avó also has a range of agricultural equipment that includes tractors and machines for washing and sorting products. It has a cold storage capacity of 250 m2 and a new warehouse of 1800 m2 located in Golegã, close to its production area.
