During
the period before our settling down in Fuga, we always kept ourselves
informed, studying and following various seminars (on bee-keeping, oil-production
etc.), so that right after our settling down, we were ready to apply
the theory we had learned into practice.
Various experiments and studies have helped us complete what we can
now present almost perfected.
In the beginning, we applied biological - natural methods, out of mere
conscience and motives emerging from our life philosophy and not from
any kind of legal restrictions (which is the case for the major percentage
of people occupied with biological cultivations). Besides, in Greece
there was no law applying to biological production at that time. Biological
bee-keeping, for instance, was not recognized as a special method of
production before 2003, while we have been working on this type of cultivation
since 1993 (see Honey), although back then, due to this reason, we couldn't
name our products with the official term "biological bee-keeping".
Fuga Farm is not merely a place of biological products
development. It is a place of an alternative way of life, that has as
a natural consequence the development of biological products. The Farm
is open to visitors -after their getting in contact with us, because,
for instance, the spring and the summer period when people prefer to
visit the place, is a period of intensive work for us. Of course, this
does not render the visits during these periods impossible, it just
puts under some control their frequency.
