Fruit & vegetables

Tierra y Libertad is a cooperative of small- and medium-scale organic producers, often family owned and with roots in their local community. We provide a range of high quality fruit & vegetables grown without using intensive farming techniques, with an emphasis on citrus and other crops suited to the Mediterranean climate.

Our producers are experts in traditional agriculture, often with generations of experience, while also being specialists in modern land management, soil regeneration and advocates for growing local, traditional and more disease-resistant plant varieties.
