Who We Are

We are David and Maria and we met seven years ago on a permaculture farm in the area of Lagos in the south of Portugal.

 

Maria has always passionate about natural and healthy food and was working as a chef in the kitchen, cooking for retreats. David was working in the garden, but also was making the bread for the community which was living there.

​

We fall in love and wanted to start a project together, which expressed our values: natural food, sustainability and working in harmony with the local community and the rhythms of nature.

​

That's how and why we've started our bakery - Pão do Sol  - and dedicated a lot of our love and energy during six years to this project, producing gluten-free breads and cakes, naturally fermented just with organic ingredients and trying to source as local as possible.

​

In the end of 2022 we've decided to move to the north of Portugal, where we now are teaching these beautiful art of making gluten-free bread  through courses, workshops and giving trainings to professionals bakers.

 

Meanwhile, David finished his course in Holistic Astrology and started giving consultations and is currently making a course to become a Naturopath.

Maria continues to  be a dedicated and present mother and is planning to start something new soon.

Thanks for stopping by! We are very grateful for the opportunity to connect with you!
