| OUR FARM |
|
|
| |
When we first set up Pastoral vadi we decided
our main crop would be Valencia type oranges and, along with some lemon, olive,
pomegranate and other fruit trees, we planted around 900 saplings. These have
now grown, all give good crops and we are thinking of introducing new varieties…
In between the rows of fruit trees we grow vegetables and fodder plants. In
accordance with our organic (IMO) certification we grow tomatoes, peppers,
aubergine, artichoke, cos lettuce, onions, green beans and other vegetables. All
our crops go to feed our guests and people working on the farm, some are stored
for future use, and any surplus is sent to be sold in the market and help meet
the expense of running the farm.
We keep chickens, ducks, sheep and a cow which
are all reared on organic fodder/grain.
We grow grapes to make organic wine. We
were all proud of the quality of last year’s wine. We are also pleased to
announce that we are now self-sufficient in terms of olive oil and home-made
soap.
In workshops at Pastoral vadi, and also with the help of local retired
villagers, we produce pickles, preserves, jams, dried pasta, dried vegetables
and fruit which have to be tasted to be believed. For those committed to an
organic diet we have a huge range of products for you to try…
Our aim now is to
extend our range of foods and become even more self-sufficient
