Enjoy a lunch with pure products from the Corfu farm

Our destination is a typical farm in the countryside of Corfu, where we will meet the owners, welcoming us and describing how happy they feel with their life close to nature, plants, and animals.

We shall begin with a relaxing walk through the small but brilliant olive grove of the farm. Olive harvest typically takes place each autumn and each olive grower use a different method of collecting olives. Olive oil produced is virgin, homemade, with strong flavor and taste, while it is kept at the basement along with other products cultivated in the farm.

On our visit to the olive grove we will meet chickens, ducks and turkeys enjoying roaming freely in the fields under the sunlight of the Corfu countryside.

The weather in Corfu in the winter months is not similar to that of the other islands of Greece: it rains and is cold almost every day and therefore the people who live in the countryside use olive wood to heat their homes during the winter, as the olive trees they abound on the island of Corfu.

The pruning of the olive trees enhances the harvest for the following year, while the large trunks of the olive trees are cut and used to heat houses in the countryside of Corfu. We will see the process of how tree trunks are cut to produce wood and how people prepare firewood for the coming winter, feeling like we are locals too.

In the idyllic setting of a Corfu farm, nestled under the gentle canopy of olive trees, we will savor the unique experience of tasting extra virgin olive oil from Corfu. This setting is not just any ordinary farm; it is a place where the olive trees form a natural shelter, creating a serene and almost magical atmosphere. As we sit in this tranquil environment, we will be introduced to the exceptional characteristics of Corfu’s olive oil. Its distinct color and aroma are sure to captivate your senses, providing an authentic Greek culinary experience. To complement this delightful olive oil tasting, we will indulge in an array of fresh, farm-produced delicacies and enjoy the rustic charm of freshly baked bread. This experience promises to be a feast for the senses, offering a genuine taste of Corfu’s agricultural heritage and its dedication to producing high-quality, flavorful olive oil.

On this tranquil Greek farm, bathed in the warm Mediterranean sun, unfolds a midday meal as a celebration of local produce. Imagine an old wooden table under a pergola, with a panoramic view of the lush olive groves. The air fills with the scent of freshly cut herbs. The meal starts with a platter of sun-dried tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and olives, all cultivated on the farm. A bowl of homemade tzatziki, made with yogurt from the farm’s goats, complements the fresh vegetables. The main course includes “Kokoras Pastitsada,” the famous Corfiot dish, cooked with the authentic recipe by the local traditional cook. Freshly baked bread, crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, is served, ideal for soaking up the rich olive oil-infused juices. For dessert, fresh local yogurt accompanied by Greek syrupy sweets. This meal, combined with locally produced wine, offers an authentic taste of Greek culinary tradition, highlighting the farm’s commitment to sustainable, organic farming and the rich flavors of its land.
