TRADITIONAL FARMING

Crete is blessed with a climate that intensifies flavors in fruits and vegetables grown on the island. Warm winds from the Sahara and cool, Alpine conditions in the mountains nurture a dizzying variety of crops, with each season bringing something new.

Every season is a celebration of life and each activity on the farm is framed by a wonderful festival celebrating the earth’s abundance. In the estate grow: Olive Trees, Vines, Wheat Flour, Vegetables, Fruits and several Aromatic Herbs.

FARMYARD

The farmyard is the heart of the farm. Livestock are not just kept for their products – Cheese, Milk, Eggs, Meat, Honey etc – but are an integral part of farm life, contributing their labour from turning presses to clearing the land of weeds and wild grasses.

Deer, wild goats (Kri Kri), rabbits, quail, partridges, guinea fowl, pigeons, peacocks, donkey, chickens, turkey, bantam chickens, dwarf goats, sheep, bees are some of the animals at the farm zoo on the Agreco Estate.
