About agriculture in Madalena

Madalena is a picturesque coastal town located on the western coast of Pico Island in the Azores. The surrounding rural landscape is dominated by the dramatic presence of Mount Pico and a unique network of small, stone-walled plots known as "currais," which protect crops from the Atlantic winds and salt spray.

The area is world-renowned for its viticulture, specifically the production of Verdelho wine grown in volcanic soil. Beyond the vineyards, the local agriculture includes small-scale production of fruits like figs and citrus, as well as cattle farming for dairy and meat, which takes advantage of the island's lush green pastures at higher elevations.

Farm workers and agronomists can find seasonal opportunities primarily during the grape harvest in late summer and early autumn. Jobs often involve the maintenance of the traditional stone walls and specialized volcanic viticulture techniques. The working environment is physically demanding but offers a unique experience in a UNESCO World Heritage agricultural landscape.
