About agriculture in Maia
Located on the northern coast of São Miguel Island in the Azores, Maia is surrounded by a dramatic landscape of volcanic cliffs and lush green pastures. The area is characterized by its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and a temperate, humid climate that supports year-round greenery and fertile volcanic soils.
The region is unique for hosting the only industrial tea plantations in Europe, with terraced fields dedicated to high-quality black and green tea production. Additionally, dairy farming is a cornerstone of the local economy, with extensive pastures supporting herds of cattle that produce the milk used for famous Azorean cheeses and dairy products.
Farm workers and agronomists can find opportunities primarily within the tea industry and the dairy sector. While much of the work is stable throughout the year due to the mild climate, harvesting periods for tea may see increased demand for labor. The environment is ideal for those specializing in sustainable grazing practices or the management of unique subtropical crops.
