The El Torrao orchard is located in the municipality of La Guardia, in the region of Toledo. The year 2006 was the starting point of this family project. We have an area of 400 ha, 200 ha of which is occupied by scrub and its representative vegetation (broom, thyme, rosemary, etc.) which mixes with the olive grove. The origin of our land starts with the purchase of many small plots and then the unification of these plots. So, at that time, these small farmers' lands were agricultural lands, many of them abandoned because of their remoteness. So we decided to reclaim it and put it into production. The olive grove is young, with a traditional layout of 8x8, mostly new plants. It currently has 35,000 olive trees of 3 varieties, Cornicabra, Picual and Hojiblanca, all of which are organically cultivated. The Cornicabra variety is part of the Montes de Toledo Denomination of Origin. We also plant various cereals for the sole purpose of feeding the rabbits, hares and partridges that live on these lands. The mill was inaugurated in 2016, and before putting it into service, we used to bring the olives to the town's cooperative. As it was impossible to separate our oil from the other producers, and to choose the date of elaboration, we decided to put our own mill into operation. These facilities are composed of the oil mill, an elaboration area, a packing and storage area. With this equipment, we have managed to complete the circle, giving work to the local population and not subcontracting any process. We are in a rural area, which makes its living from agriculture in general: an area surrounded by traditional olive groves, which are becoming less and less productive. The population is quite old and young people are looking for work in the city, with more comfortable working conditions, which leads them to abandon the villages. With our project, we offer stable and temporary jobs to help the local economy. The farm's water comes from artisan and traditional wells that used to exist on the farm, they are shallow wells but with a very wide border. Irrigation is carried out by drip irrigation, and the amount of water is regulated according to the rainfall we have on the farm each year. To improve this system, and to minimize the consumption of electrical energy, we have installed solar panels. We have always been concerned about the environment and since our beginnings in this field in 2007, we have opted for organic farming. All the work we do is always with the aim of taking care of our environment and our land, so we clean the grass and try to maintain a vegetative cover all year round, favoring the refuge of the animals. We have planted different types of flowers of different colors on the edges of the olive grove, to attract different insects, as they are our allies against pests. We have natural barriers of white broom to protect us from non-organic crops. The natural ponds on the farm become an oasis for animals in the summer. When we started in 2007, we were 3 people, and in 2016 with the inauguration of the mill, we increased the workforce to 6, all working full time. The salary received is higher than standard set by the collective labor convention, with good working conditions, which include an occupational risk prevention system, quality systems, adequate work clothes, mileage allowance and a bonus at the end of the season. During harvest time, to ensure that all fieldwork is done on time, we expand the team. We always contract locals as they know the farm, the work system and the philosophy of the company. With regard to residues, everything is transformed and/or reused within the same operation. During the pruning process, all the firewood obtained is used for the farm's fireplaces. The rest is chopped up and incorporated into the plant cover, in order to enrich the soil naturally. During the production of the oil, we take the leaves from the process to a local farmer to feed his sheep. With the water obtained from the process, we watered the fruit trees in the orchard and sell the pomace to obtain pomace oil. But now we have developed a composting project where we compost the leaves, the water resulting from the process and the pomace, obtaining compost that we use as a natural organic fertilizer, enriching the soil structure. On the other hand, we recover the olive pits in order to use them as fuel to heat the mill's installations.
