It was essentially a life decision as it was different from our initial major of study. We started in 2012, and resigned from the private sector, where we were paid 370 € a month (!)

So I searched long and ended in the cultivation of super foods creating innovative products out of them! So we stayed in Greece and we are delighted with our choice.

-Is your estate open to visitors as a tour for visitors and young children? How did you come up with the original idea?

Right now, believe me, we live the dream. We started timidly our effort, but such was the interest of the world to visit our schools and various groups to get to know us, to see our efforts and meet our two horses, the beauty and the siroko. We have now changed level of living, our little son grows in the nature and we now work with more energy. We love our work and it shows in our products.
