Left fallow for twenty years, this plot that we acquired in 2018 was used as an illegal dumpsite for some time. With the goal of transforming it back into healthy land, we dedicated 6 months to collect and bring 200 tons of construction and public works debris to the local landfill. This plot is not […]
Our aromatic alley functions as an “insectarium.” Bushes like rosemary, thyme, and lavender, as well as fruit trees such as pomegranate, fig, and cherry, serve as host plants for insects beneficial to our vines. Insects that provide services to plants are referred to as “beneficials.” There are four types of beneficials: – Pollinators aid […]
In just a handful of healthy soil, there are more microorganisms than there are humans on Earth. 90% of this life resides in the top 15 centimeters of soil. With regenerative agriculture, we adapt to the soil rather than altering it. This means minimizing soil disturbance and external inputs. Instead, we strategically plant cover crops […]

If we came out the other side doing so well, it’s thanks to the tremendous investment and […]
The philosophy behind regenerative farming focuses on conservation and improvement of our farming environments. It emphasizes restoring local biodiversity but above all improving the quantity and quality of topsoil. One of the most effective practices is the use of cover crops. Used correctly they mitigate soil erosion while improving soil fertility, quality, water retention, weeds, […]
As a generational handover approaches, it’s good to take a step back and imagine the kind of agriculture we want to practice in the decades to come. Everything is accelerating and we are convinced that a profound change must take place, to better meet challenges of global warming and to respond to the aspirations of […]
