ECOCERT Certified

What does ‘certified organic’ Mean?

For us, being certified as organic is a point of pride. This achievement recognises all of our hard-work and our priorities, but we will work even harder to maintain it. For you, the Ecocert certification is your guarantee that we continually satisfy very high standards of animal welfare. In addition, it proves that we adopt the best organic, environmentally friendly and socially conscious practices on our farm.

Rescuing & caring For Animals

Currently there are sixty-nine of us living on the farm, aside from the fifty-one Angora goats, all our other animals are adopted. We have seven goats, three dogs, two donkeys, four ducks, one pig and one tortoise. And not forgetting us two humans, Rose and Mario. We seem to have drawn the short straw when it comes to the distribution of roles and responsibilities!

Currently Joyce the pig and the rescued goats happily coexist in the old vegetable garden, which is around half a hectare. We are planning to install some raised beds and plant fruit and nut trees in part of that area so we’ll need to ensure those are goat- and pig-proof. This is just one of many future projects on our long-term self-sufficiency plan.
