Óscar Puebla
Location: Alhaurín el Grande, Málaga
Products: avocado & passion fruit
After having spent a good part of his life as a car mechanic, and seeing the rising demand for healthier food, Óscar decided to change vocation and began working in the world of agriculture. He currently cultivates a 4-hectare farm of Bacon and Hass avocado, along with 1 hectare of passion fruit.
Beginning has not been easy for Óscar; he’s had to learn a lot and continues to encounter challenges every day, especially with passion fruit, a crop about which much is still unknown. He is clear that organic farming is the best way to conserve fauna and flora, by creating a farm with a lot of biodiversity. We can talk to Oscar about the cycles of the field, the seasons, sowing or pruning… and how to fix agricultural machinery!
