Description
Welcome to our eco-farm!
Our farm located on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria in the province of Las Palmas. We, Agata and Piotr, cultivate vegetables and fruits, organically grown and free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers and GMOs. We deeply believe in the idea that we can protect the environment with the practice of organic and regenerative agriculture.
Values and aims: promote ecology, create connections between living beings, express creativity in harmony with nature, and build a self-sustainable community that spreads our values: our ethical decision is to take responsibility for our own existence and that of our next generation.Types of help and learning opportunities
