At
NAERA
- HAUNDI farm we have 4 hectares under organic
production and a great diversity of different kinds of fruit.
We always try to use the resources at hand on the farm to look after
the fruit trees and bushes. For example, the grass that we cut along
the rows is left to fertilize the ground. We make compost with the manure
from our animals mixed with the wood chippings from the pruning. We
use nettle tea as an invigorating spray, horse tail plants as another
spray against fungi attacks and garlic against certain insects. We also
use the wood ash from our fire as a source of potash and other minerals.
The fruit is picked by hand and taken straight to our production kitchen
where it is processed.
Fruit
growing
We
make our jams, jellies and marmalades using traditional methods and sometimes
with innovations introduced by ourselves. We use only fruit, organic cane
sugar and with a couple of varieties, spices. The entire process is by
hand and the type of fruit, stage of maturity and other factors are taken
into account. When the process is finished the jam goes to a resting room
to settle for a time before it is sold.
We are pleased to give
guided tours with a jam tasting, Max. 12 people.
