The farm

The farm of Nea Guinea in Nea Makri is an old olive grove of four acres designed according to the principles of Permaculture and is a field of application and experimentation for the study, evolution and adaptation of different techniques in a Mediterranean climate. The design includes different polyculture systems, water collection and management systems, living hedges, composting and wastewater management systems and infrastructure to support educational activities. The farm produces food from two vegetable gardens, herbs from a large herb garden and timber from the olive grove to meet the basic needs of the people involved in its cultivation, while also supplying the New Guinea kitchen during the seminars. Thus, it is an open classroom for the practical workshops organized in the context of the relevant seminars, while it also hosts open information events and guided tours.
