Discover the Olive Tree

Experience the beauty of Messinia through agrotourism

Green Land co-farming is a cooperative farming business with a focus on producing and exporting high-quality olive oil and olive-based products. The location in Sterna, Messinia, provides a unique and authentic experience for visitors, allowing them to witness the olive production process and immerse themselves in the rich tradition of the Messinian olive groves.

The numerous international quality awards, including the Sial Innovation Award in 2023, highlight the commitment to excellence and innovation in the production of olive-based products. Opening the farm and bottling place to visitors for the past five years, especially from May to September, enhances the experience for guests who can witness firsthand the production of olives and olive oil. The opportunity to explore the olive groves, visit an olive farm, and taste local food adds a personal touch to the overall experience.

The promise of a culminating experience with a carefully prepared table filled with local tastes and aromas, and the use of fresh ingredients from the organic vegetable garden and local sources adds a delightful dimension to the visit.

The mention of the big wooden garden table, serving local wine, and traditional dishes like Gemista and Moussaka further emphasizes the commitment to providing an authentic and memorable culinary experience.
