Kyriakopoulos farm is located at the site of Agios Vasilios, 3 km north of the town of Mesolonghi. It belongs to Georgios Kyriakopoulos who personally farms it. He is one of the relatively new members of the Bio Net West Hellas Group and has been practicing organic farming for 5 years. He is an agriculturist, of great experience and also a professor at the local TEI (Institute of Technological Education). The 35 acre farm consists of 20 acres of Kiwi, and 15 acres of Olive trees. Fertilization in the farm is achieved by means of scattering organic compost over the whole area in early autumn and then a mixed sowing of vets and oats, after the first rains. Vetch and oats plants are cut with a cutting machine in the middle of spring and create a thick layer of natural green manure for the trees. Growing vetch and oats together, reduces to a large extent the growth of self-sown plants and also, the green manure combined with the organic compost provides excellent nutrition to the soil, eliminating any need for further fertilizing. This combination helps activate and propagate all those organisms that create a healthy and alive soil. The owner of the farm is checked and certified for his organic methods by the certification body IRIS (GR-BIO-06) and has the following certification number: KYRIAKOPOULOS GEORGIOS: 631-7439-21-10 |
