The story of our soil

Healthy soil is the mainstay – the essential foundation of everything in farming. 

An olive grove is a human-made entity and not a natural landscape, therefore the only way it can exist sustainably is if it is allowed to form its own eco-system. On a small -scale farm such as ours we must work with nature to allow the land to retain its healthy elements, by not putting poisons down, allowing the weeds, wildflowers and herbs to take over, let the local goats to roam and forage the plants and to let nature take its path whether or not we fear that it seems a little chaotic at times. 

We are rewarded by watching the biodiversity increase, the populous of bees and birds growing in number and in turn re-creating the goodness of our soil.
