About agriculture in Barco
Located in the municipality of Covilhã within the Castelo Branco district, Barco sits near the banks of the Zêzere River. The surrounding landscape is characterized by the rugged beauty of the Beira Baixa region, featuring rolling hills and fertile valleys at the southeastern foothills of the Serra da Estrela mountain range.
The agricultural sector in this area is diverse, with a strong emphasis on olive groves and fruit orchards, particularly cherries and peaches for which the Cova da Beira is renowned. Sheep farming is also a traditional cornerstone, supporting the production of regional cheeses, while small-scale viticulture and vegetable gardens dot the rural plots.
Farm workers and agronomists can expect seasonal opportunities, especially during the fruit harvests from late spring through autumn. Typical roles include orchard maintenance, harvesting, and irrigation management. The region offers a professional environment rooted in traditional Mediterranean farming techniques integrated with modern distribution practices.
