KAMARANTHO

An ECO life proposal

In the village of Kamari in Paros – a small village of 70 inhabitants near the port of Aliki, with a farming tradition – we created step by step the model Organic Farm KAMARANTHO.

The farm brings together the plant wealth of the island and the wider Aegean ecosystem, in an environment that takes you on a journey to the serenity and aesthetics of Paros of past decades.

KAMARANTHO produces, standardize, and distributes to Paros market, exquisite organic products with international distinctions.

The farm and its products have organic certification from DHO and are systematically monitored from the creation of the farm to the present day.

OUR APPROACH

A family effort with love for the island and the environment

In 2014, Stavros Tsavalos and Katerina Papadimitriou-Tsavalou began the creation of KAMARANTHO farm, on a wasteland and distressed area of ​​5,7 hectares.

Following permaculture farming methods, KAMARANTHO soon became a model organic agricultural unit, producing everything that the unique natural environment of Paros allows to grow and bear fruit: Olives and oil, fresh figs, pomegranates and almonds, a wide variety of herbs and spices, Parian souma from local grape varieties and a small number of fresh vegetables and fruits. A greenhouse with experimental crops and special products completes the effort.

The natural vegetation of the area, special and unique, is preserved intact and gives the authentic image of the Cycladic landscape.

HOW WE DO IT

Farm Practices

Our crop design at Kamarantho attempts to mimic the model of a natural forest ecosystem. Trees, shrubs, herbs and grasses, bulbs and climbing plants are grown together and coexist, as happens effortlessly in a natural forest.

Our crops do not follow the usual linear layouts in space. The different species are alternated spatially and the planting has been done considering the slope and spatial peculiarities of the soil. In this way we avoid rainwater runoff and erosion and we seek maximum water absorption from the soil.
