The land was acquired in 2019 due to environmental conditions, soil, location because is next to a bigger farm that has been in the family for years. The land was totally replant with Geisha, Pacamara and SL-28. Part of the farm is still a forest with the purpose of creating better micro climates and more resilient landscapes.
