For ten years we have forged relationships with the local farmers who have been farming the land generation after generation and who still farm by a great deal by hand.

We  support the local farmers and their traditional lifestyle by sourcing most of our food from them .

The mountainous interior of the island is a quilt of dense pine forest, olive and almond groves. Farmers still use ancient terracing to cultivate their crops and irrigation techniques introduced by the Arabs over a thousand years ago.

 

The Ibecenco people living in these rural areas are an extremely dignified people - their lives edging gently forwards in a time honoured fashion with so many treasured techniques to share. You will benefit from eating this island food and a delicious healthy eating plan for the week will force you away from the foods that weigh you down with too much starch fat and additives.
