Agricultural production incorporates energy and water-saving techniques,while plant protection is made from herbal extracts and compost, avoiding the use of chemical fertilisers.
The farm breeds organic productive animals such as goats and sheep, produces organic milk, eggs, and vegetables. Additionally, it serves as an open space for public visits, hosts schools and organised groups, and organises various events, including workshops, festivals, and camping. Visitors can also purchase organic products from the farm’s café.
This is an excellent initiative where an organic farm combines traditional methods of producing local products using innovative technologies. The most important element, however, is that the farm’s development strategy prominently places the creation and promotion of authentic culinary experiences to visitors creating a positive impact in several fields, such as the environment, society and tourism. The farm adopts sustainable methods of operation and production significantly reducing footprint as it uses biological methods of manufacturing products.

Riverland offers unique and memorable adventure and gastro experiences, a life changing authentic experience which actively engages visitors in the livestock, harvesting and traditional food production, activating all human senses through a multitude of interactive activities but the most important is that a ritual passport is held, from community to communitas. Events and traditional products workshops are organised such as halloumi cheese making, bread making etc.
