Greek soil + Conscience= Ethical Farming.

Share

“Ethos, the Greek word for Conscience, best describes how we think about Greek soil and nature. This Lab is focusing on Ethical Sourcing and Cooperations. We work together with over 30 local Micro-Farmers and 5 Agricultural Unions around Greece.

Our collaboration is multifaceted. We support them financially, with scientific input, and with technical expertise. I meet them in person, I advise them, I listen to their dreams and their problems.

They are my inspiration. Hearing their concerns—and knowing our own needs—we have set up an R&D system of cultivation methods with two objectives: to promote organic farming in Greece and to conserve our biodiversity, including valuable endangered species.”

Stavropoulos Giorgos,

Agriculturist

“Ι love classical theatre, travelling, running, and exploring nature! My life is literally tied together with nature that I learned to love even more through my encounters with our amazing farmers. The products we created with the unique Santorini grape are definetely my favourite; the outcome of one of my most fascinating ventures in our quest for the most powerful Greek plants.”
