Our Story
From a Small Dream to a Thriving Reality
In 2017, Jacques Naudé founded Joseph’s Dream with a vision to turn abandoned land in Portugal into a thriving, sustainable refuge for families and investors. Inspired by the biblical story of Joseph, Jacques set out to create a farm that fosters both prosperity and community.
What started as a small family farm has grown into a flourishing enterprise, managing hundreds of hectares of organic almond and walnut orchards. Joseph’s Dream is built on organic regenerative farming practices that benefit both the land and the people involved.
Jacques’ background as a rugby captain taught him leadership, resilience, and teamwork, which have been crucial in building the farm’s success. By forging strong partnerships and securing government support, Jacques has ensured that Joseph’s Dream continues to expand sustainably.
Today, Joseph’s Dream is more than a farm—it’s a community. Families and investors from around the world have joined, drawn by Jacques’ passion, transparency, and the shared goal of a sustainable, simpler lifestyle. As the farm grows, so does its mission to create a future where people and nature thrive together.
Our Mission & Vision
Growing Together, Nurturing the Land
Joseph’s Dream is more than just a business – it’s a community built on shared values of sustainability, integrity, and family. Our vision is to create a thriving organic agricultural ecosystem in Central Portugal, where families and investors can come together to create a lasting positive impact. From humble beginnings to pioneering leaders in organic farming, we continue to grow with the land and the people who believe in our dream.
Our commitment is to offer investors superior returns, create gainful employment, support local and regional businesses, and actively contribute to turning sustainability and food security into tangible realities.
