We are a family company with over 40 years’ experience in organic production. The founder and father of the family, Manuel Valls, was a pioneer in organic farming. From the start, his goal was to cultivate and offer healthy food. When official recognition arrived, his crops were the first in the entire Spanish state to be certified. At the same time, in order to promote organic vegetables, then little known, he started making juices and preserves with the help of his family.
Currently, the company is composed of the parents and their three children. We grow about 30 different vegetables, using biodynamic organic farming practices. We have produce throughout the year, although the main cropping period occurs between the months of July and October. This is when we harvest and process two of our main crops, onion and tomato.
The ADV Ecològica de Ponent provides us with technical support and specific advice about organic and biodynamic solutions. The organisation helps us to focus on the details, to fine-tune agricultural practices and keep up to date with current developments. Through the ADV we can access knowledge and training, and exchange experiences with other farmers.
We try to minimize the environmental impact. We reuse 100% of the by-products, either in the preparation of compost or for animal feed. In addition, we have solar panels that produce 70% of the energy that we require.
