Our second visit · October 2026

A wild garden, full of fruit

Friedrich and Lilli feed their soil with compost and microorganisms, and grow dozens of fruits side by side. Christina and Claire, from our team, went back this October and once again tasted the intensity of fruit grown on living soil.

The farm

A jungle of fruit trees near Huelva

Geoffrey, our co-founder, first visited in 2014, when the project was still young. The trees have since grown into a real jungle, and it is one of the most beautiful farms Geoffrey knows.

Dozens of fruits side by side
Pomegranates, avocados, persimmons, lychees, mangoes, papayas, dragon fruit, caviar lime and pink pepper, all mixed together.
Three lakes
The irrigation water comes from a local rainwater reservoir. The farm does not pump from its wells.
Near Huelva
In Andalusia, on the Costa de la Luz, near Gibraleón.

Their method

Feed the ground, and the ground feeds the fruit

They start with what is under the trees. They feed the soil, and the soil feeds the plant, the fruit and the people who eat it. Lilli walked our team through every step of it.

Compost and microorganisms
Prepared in containers on the farm, then mixed into the irrigation water.
A second chance for trees
When a tree struggles, they work to bring it back instead of pulling it out.
Organic, Demeter, permaculture
Certified organic and Demeter, and grown with the principles of permaculture. Many species side by side, in what our team called "a very wild garden".
Wild and profitable
They let nature do its thing while keeping a farm that pays its way. A dance between the two.

Permaculture at scale

The first permaculture farm of this size in Europe

More than 50 hectares of fruit trees, grown with the principles of permaculture and certified organic and Demeter. We visit a lot of farms, and this is the first one of this size that we know in Europe.

What Lilli is building

A network of growers who care for their soil

Lilli is now building a network of partner farms on the Costa Tropical, near Granada. Her growers look after their soil and their plants the same way, and their fruit is amazing. Her reason is simple: taking care of the generations to come.

Questions you might have

Is the fruit organic?

The farm is certified organic and Demeter, and grown with the principles of permaculture. The organic certificate of each fruit is shown on its product page.

Why are the wild avocados all different?

They are ungrafted and untreated, so size and shape vary from one fruit to the next.

Where exactly is the farm?

Near Gibraleón, in the province of Huelva, in Andalusia (southern Spain).

Will you have other fruits from them?

Probably. The farm grows many more fruits, and the offer changes with the harvest.

Taste what this soil grows
