The richness of the Argentine farmland
  

Mother nature has blessed Argentina in many ways, with a particular emphasis on the lands fertility, productivity and richness of its soil. Argentina is endowed with great natural and technical resources to face the challenges of the most demanding and stringent world markets'.

A
rgentina has demonstrated through the high standards of its national certification bodies, which adhere to IFOAM specification compliance, and also with the proven quality of its organic exportations, to be an agriculturally trustworthy and efficient country, being the first foreign country not member of the European Union to obtain certification to export organic products into the European Organic Community.

Organic agriculture is an activity that strives for obtaining the bountiful fruits of Mother Nature without breaking or altering in any way its natural ecosystems and reproductive cycles, pulling out from the soil what the soil is capable of giving, without overexploiting with chemical agents or by using pollutant substances that will harm not only the soil, but the fragile life that exists in tandem with it. Consequently, we achieve agricultural products free from chemical residues and pesticides that may hurt our health, environment or wildlife.

One of the most important principles that upholds organic agriculture is the preservation of our biosphere, imperative for the conservation of the healthy life for our planet and the quality of crops we produce.
Most of our products are grown in Argentina. We also grow other organic products in Brazil, Chile and Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay, complementing our argentine growers, due to variations in climate.

 

   

 

The Pampas

Pampas is a name that has been handed down from the quechua language meaning "vast prairie", barren almost without trees, the pampas spread out from the center of Argentina spanning the width of the continent and reaching out to the Atlantic Ocean on the east and up to the towering Andes mountain rage to the west. It constitutes the principal agricultural region of the country and is the widest plain in South America and one of the most extensive plains in the world (700.000 km2).

Its eastern region known as the humid pampas is the most fruitful region of the country. It is considered by many as one of the most advanced regions regarding agricultural activity. Because of its natural conditions and the richness of the soil, it has the optimum circumstances for organic production, a fact that has not gone unnoticed since organic agriculture there has been expanding rapidly in the last couple of years.

The Pampas are well known around the world for being a reliable source of wheat, corn, flax, soybeans, sunflower and rape seed, among others.

 

 

Argentina has significant growth opportunities still available in its agricultural sectors. Growers are employing modern-day farming practices but their current fertilizer application rates per hectare are among the lowest in the world.

The naturally rich ecological Pampas of Argentina can provide worldwide consumers with quality products due to the right balance in soil composition, soil permeability, water availability, biodiversity and responsible land use.

Therefore, crop rotation, agricultural chemicals services, expert studies of of ways and means to influence soil structure, state monitoring of the soil, organization of a soil service, setting of norms for the maximum permissible harmful impact on soils, recultivation of soils, conservation of soils in areas of water, forest and pasture lands, land improvement, the
fight against erosion, desertification and pollution are certainly matters of concern of all the people involved in the sustainable work of promoting and developing organic agriculture.

 

Our Farm

Everything got started when Don Andres Cuner came from Lerida, Catalunia at the end of the 1800 with his wife Maria Josefina and a dream of taking the fruits from the earth in what was going to be his new home. These fields have remained in the family and we are now proud of continuing his legacy of love for the earth and respect for the farmers.

Our fields are located in the North of Buenos Aires, in the city of San Pedro, which has a surface of 1.319 Km2. At 160 Km up east north of Buenos Aires it is an advantageous location, because of its climatic and natural ecological condition, besides its proximity to the main deep water ports. The main activities are the cultivation of cereals and oleaginous like wheat, soybeans, corn, sunflower and wheat. We also grow fruits, (oranges, grapefruit, plums, mandarins and peaches) and vegetables (specially batata and asparagus).

With more than a century family farm tradition, we contribute with that agricultural production growing cereals, fruits and vegetables without the use of harmful pesticides or insecticides, currently under organic certification process.
