About

My farm is located in the island of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the Cannary Islands, growing different crops like avocados, eggplants, broccoli, cauliflowers, among others. I have a unique perspective of growing crops, because I grow crops in an island, near the African continent, but am part of the European Union. My farm is 4 acres. I have experience in growing papaya in greenhouses, and am growing avocado with intercropping of vegetables and forage shrub legumes, and these are certified organic. I sell the production at a Farmers Market, where freshly harvested locally produced products are offered. To control weeds I use anti-grass meshes on the ground, and to control some pests and damage from extreme heat or hailstorms, microtunnels with anti-hail or shade mesh. I also am advising different companies and farmers, giving advice on how to grow plants, mostly "papaya" with a total of 80 acres.  https://fb.watch/sWEktuhHBq/
