In 1998 we start a small but promising cooperative of organic farmers, the Agricultural Cooperative of Organic Farmers of Messara. The cooperative started with 44 farmers, farmers engaged exclusively in agriculture but also people from various other professions that simply feel the need to work the land of their ancestors, as well as ensuring that healthy food arrives at the table of their families. Fourty four farmers who shared their love for the land and belief that to survive in their place and to save rural communities need a new, sustainable approach to agriculture. The main and basic purpose of this move was to revitalize the local community by keeping farmers on their land. We understood from the beginning that to achieve this goal should unite our productive forces to the cooperative manner, investing time, effort and passion to create a product that will reach a first time to our table and after market. |
