Yummy treasures are in every corner of the farm...each with its full and unique taste. Without much effort, the most delicious fresh and cooked recipes can be prepared. "Let things taste the way they are" when it comes to these beauties.

The right mixture of flora is essential for an organic farm. Specific flowers among vegetables, for example, can enhance growth, beauty or flavor. This is the concept of companion planting that we follow and which in July starts to unravel its colors and charm.
You can see an example below of a colorful mix of vegetables and flowers along with the lovely volunteer Katharina making sure everything is under control.
Last month, three new volunteers helped us and got to join us through WWOOFING: two for the first time (Judith and Katharina) and Alicia joined us for the second time :)
Katharina Diedrichs is from Germany. She wanted to visit a friend in Lebanon, and to our luck, she decided to combine that with a few weeks of farming tasks at our farm. She is still with us and is a great contributor to any task at hand.
Judith Leijdekkers is from the Netherlands. She had been to Lebanon for an internship and met "the most amazing, hospitable and inspiring people". She recently graduated and decided to visit her friends again - and to volunteer at our farm :) We were happy to host her.
Alicia Gaurad is from Switzerland and already volunteered in a great way at the farm in May 2018. So, by now, she knows it all and knows everyone! She studied political science and works and volunteers as a teacher as well.
Here are the three visiting Batroun.
