Immerse Yourself in the Enchanting Alpujarras at Our Organic Farm
Discover the Rich History and Abundant Bounty of our Family-Owned Oasis
Welcome to our family's cherished organic farm, nestled in the heart of the picturesque Alpujarras region of Andalusia. For generations, we have nurtured this lush oasis, where hundreds of fruit trees, primarily olive groves, thrive in harmony with the land.
Our small-holding of approximately five hectares, located just a 10-minute walk from the charming village of Mairena, is a true haven. Fed by a delightful stream and two irrigation tanks, as well as a naturally rising spring, this fertile plot allows us to tend to over a hundred olive trees, along with an abundance of almond, cherry, medlar, apple, pear, persimmon, orange, and apricot trees. Wild grape vines add to the bounty, providing us with more grapes than we know what to do with.
Embrace the Rhythms of Farm Life and Discover Local Traditions
Our guests are invited to immerse themselves in the rhythms of farm life, joining us in tasks that reflect the age-old traditions of the region. Whether it's lending a hand during the olive harvest in January, picking oranges to complement your picnic in March, or indulging in the seasonal delights of almonds, figs, grapes, pomegranates, and walnuts in autumn, there is always something to discover and experience.
We have worked closely with the local community over the years, learning from their expertise in irrigation, plowing, pruning, and tending the land. On evening strolls to the farm, we're happy to share the fascinating history of the Moorish-inspired irrigation systems and offer a glimpse into the traditional olive oil production at the nearby mill.
Celebrate our Organic Certification and Abundant Biodiversity
For the past three years, our farm has been proudly certified organic by the Soil Association. This not only ensures that our produce is natural, seasonal, and bursting with flavor, but it also fosters an extraordinary diversity of flora and fauna. From vibrant wildflowers to a rich tapestry of insect life and abundant birdwatching opportunities, our organic practices have created a true haven for nature.
While maintaining our organic status does require hands-on work, such as controlling weeds and regularly repairing the dry stone walls, we welcome our guests to join in these satisfying tasks. Afterwards, you can unwind in one of the many hammocks or shady corners, immersing yourself in the tranquility of our little oasis.
