OUR STORY
Driven by the love,the desire and the expertise which our grandfather handed down to our father and he in turn to us, over 80 years now, the Spyridis family has been involved in the production of organic extra virgin olive oil and organic Kalamata olives.
Inspired by a common vision, which is the creation of authentic Greek organic products, we proceeded to the establishment of the company “Spartan Farmers”.
Our commitment is to produce products of incomparable quality, always following the strictest international safety and hygiene rules.
With respect for the environment and passion for excellence, we set strict standards regarding the production of all of our products, anticipating fully satisfied customers worldwide.
In 1996, having developed a sense of ecological consciousness, we joined organic farming.
ORGANIC FARMING
In 1996, after several years of being occupied with the land and the olive tree, having now developed a sense of ecological consciousness, we joined organic farming, where we still continue to use methods only friendly to the environment and therefore to our products. Our ultimate goal is to optimize quality.
The organic olive cultivation is based on methods of restoring the soil of the olive grove, recycling the by-products and other available organic materials and protecting the environment. It is the method of olive oil production that aims at producing an excellent quality of olive products, free of agrochemical residues. On the basis of these principles, we use mild cultivation techniques and plant protection products that do not pose a threat to nature.
Regular inspection and evaluation of the production process is undertaken on by the BIO-HELLAS certification organization, from which we receive the certification regarding organic farming.
OLIVE GROVES
In Goritsa Laconia, just outside the city of Sparta, in a dominant olive growing area, the climatic conditions and the natural environment are ideal for the olive tree. On the basis of these, the olive tree is considered sacred (PGI – Protected Geographical Indication). Always respecting the basic principles of environmental protection and devoted to the values that govern our activity, we cultivate olives in a traditional way and without the use of hazardous chemical pesticides.
Our olive groves are located among the peaks of Taygetos and Parnona, in the fertile valley of Evrotas, in the Peloponnese and more specifically in Sparta the capital of Laconia.Here, with tradition, love, expertise and passion the Spyridis family (Spartan Farmers) produces the organic Kalamata olives and organic extra virgin olive oil.
Our olive groves are accessible while we ourselves undertake the tour of the fileds, presenting you with all aspects of the cultivation process.
