Our philosophy

Photo
Our farm plays a central role at Tierra Madre: it is our main provider of fresh organic produce and satisfy your expectations of quality and your taste buds while also fitting perfectly in with the nature surrounding it.

 We don't use any motorized  machinery for harvesting or transforming our produce, so all our farming takes place without noises which could frighten the wildlife and without generating any greenhouse gases. We use oxen and traditional methods of cultivation.

Conservation of the soil and groundwater is more important for us than profit
We do not use any weed-killers or chemical fertilizers. We deal with pests and weeds by hand or with a machete.

 Properly-planned crop rotation, together with the use of natural fertilizers (most of which come from our farm animals) give our crops all the nutrients necessary for harmonious growth.

 All organic waste is composted, and the composting process is accelerated by earthworms, so that we can recycle it back into our fields and our gardens.

Our oxen, cows and pigs, as well as our hens and ducks, are fed on grain and forage produced on-site or by small local growers who meet our quality standards.

 We hope these examples of working together will contribute to promoting in the region an eco-friendly culture…  

In the same spirit, we are committed to protecting local products such as chasmol, malanga and gandul…

 Our farmers, François, Roger and Ramon, will be happy to answer any of your questions and share their experiences…
