Roggia Farm, our rating 3*                                                                              

Roggia is a new developing farm in the north of Corfu. It is organic with a range of local trees, plants & animals with the aim of applying biodynamic farming in the future. It is a welcoming change in the island's rural tourism.

A lot of thought & reading goes into every process at Roggia, for crops & animals, to achieve the best and most natural results. Organic farming sounds complex & new, yet it is based on old farm traditions. It gets effortlessly combined with traditional ways of cooking.

Nikos, the owner of the farm, is a young guy and to him organic farming is a lifestyle. Lina is his mother and the one who brings the knowledge of the old in cooking & farming. 2008 is the first year the farm will welcome guests.

At Roggia you will be the one to decide how much you wish to get involved with the activities, you can help with the animals or land, or you can simply watch the activities. You can take part in cooking or just enjoy eating with the family.

A visit to the farm for a few days is a must for all, young & old, families & couples. It is educational, calming, it is human & real, a wonderful break from our tiring routine. I would recommend a week or two here (if you cannot manage forever) to absolutely anyone.
