Gia sas friends! I am Eftychios and I live in a beautiful village called Katydata situated on the foot of Troodos mountain. It has a unique position in the island, with access to the sea and the mountain, near popular villages like Kakopetria and Kalopanayiotis, it is an hour's drive away from the capital of the island, Nicosia. The area is known for its fertile lands and a river that runs through the village all year through, situated next to the buffer zone and the archaeological site of Skouriotissa.
I am an organic farmer that have left the city few years ago to live in the countryside, to become autonomous and live in harmony with nature. I have a field here we grow vegetables/fruits trees and one field with olive trees.
The field with the vegetables and the fruits trees is 6000 square meters where many kinds of seasonal vegetables are grown. The field with the olive trees is about 5000 square meters.
I am looking for people with a positive attitude and good energy, who care for the land and the environment, who enjoy being in nature and the quiet life of the village. People who like to work on the land, doing a range of agricultural activities, from cultivation to harvesting, composting and construction. Willing to help with all preparations and processing of our produce and the selling process.
You will be given the opportunity to learn how to grow and cultivate a variety of organic vegetables,trees and herbs
Organic methods: Composting using free range manure, grass cuttings and other available organic waste.
Microorganisms and Bokashi
Certified organic pesticides
Co-cultivations and crop rotation.
Certifications: The vegetable farm is certified organic by Lacon Ltd
Current projects: I usually need help with the daily chores of the field, weeding, pruning, planting, making seedlings and collecting vegetables. In October and November,is a harvesting period olives. Also some times there is some processing of the vegetables. There are always some small construction projects, depending on the season and our current needs. For example, a small greenhouse for the seedlings.
