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. |

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). |

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. |

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). |
