Adopt a pomegranate tree that we cultivate under the Organic Farming regulations of the European Union since 2016. During the process of adoption you can choose a name that we will engrave on a plaque and hang on your tree. Our name: "Llauradors de Somnis" (Valencian for "dream workers"), already comes to explain what we want to do. We started this project as a family, recovering abandoned land in the garden of Valencia and transforming it into ecological land in 2016. The Emek pomegranate: This variety is the earliest, around mid of August it is already available. It is characterized by a large elongated crown, well-closed and very resistant. Its exterior color is red-pink, having more intense spots because of the sun. Inside, it has large, intense ruby red seeds. They are soft, small, and taste sweet with a hint of sourness. The Shani pomegranate: This variety like the Emek, has a smaller external shape with a small but not so closed crown, but very resistant. The external colour of the fruit is uniformly bright red. The seeds are a deep red colour, the taste is excellent as there is an exceptional balance between sugar and acidity and the seeds are equally soft and tender. These two varieties, Emek and Shani, originate in Israel. I chose them because I was looking for something innovative for the market that could be included in the Mediterranean diet at the same time. To gather more information about these varieties, I decided to travel to Israel with my young son during the hot month of August 2016. There I was told about the "sacred" fruit, as pomegranates are said to have 613 seeds, which coincidentally correspond to the precepts of the Torah. After this trip, we planted these early varieties on our farm and now pay a royalty to the Israeli company that developed these wonderful varieties. The Acco pomegranate: On the outside, it has an evenly intense red colour with a small closed crown. The seeds are also of an intense red color that only confirms the extreme sweetness of its flavour. The seed is semi-soft, making it very easy to consume. To be able to offer continuity to our clients with a product similar to the extra-early varieties, I decided to plant the ACCO variety because it adapts very well to our climate and gives us the possibility to offer fruit until the middle of September. Our trees are fertilized with organic manure and raised in the fields we have around the southern countryside of Valencia. Our production system gives special importance to environmental care, being pioneers in the most advanced systems of nutrition and ecological treatments. As well as an innovative system of trellising. All this helps the extra early pomegranate trees to allow the fruit to be harvested much earlier than the other varieties. Each tree, depending on the flowering, can give us up to 15 kg of fruit. We have not won any prizes but we have participated in various national and European fairs, making our pomegranate known on an international level. The productive life of a pomegranate tree is around 20-25 years. For as long as you want to keep it and we can continue taking care of it, you can renew your adoption year after year. If your pomegranate tree dies, we will replace it with no additional cost and assuring the delivery of your harvest from others. A pomegranate tree from our farm produces an average of 15 kg each season. You do not have to commit to the consumption of the whole harvest. Each season you may decide what quantity to reserve and pay the maintenance in accordance with the amount you reserve. This way you will only pay for what you consume and we can plan and sell the remaining harvest amount to others.

During harvest season you can progressively receive the quantity of harvest that you reserve on the moment of adoption. Shipping format: __Each box contains approx. 5 kg of organic pomegranates__ * Varieties Emek, Shani and Acco * Each box contains around 15 pieces of fruit, each weighing around 300 g * The Emek variety which is the earliest with a small, soft-textured seed and a touch of sourness * The Shani variety which has ruby red seeds with an excellent taste and a balance between sugar and sourness * The Acco variety which is the later and sweeter of the three varieties, with an intense red aril colour * Our pomegranates have been treated with water and organic fertilizers and are picked according to the harvesting schedule * Best preserved cold * They can last up to a month in a stable and cold temperature

Please, check the deadline for participating in this project (deadline for adoption) below. As of this date shipments begin. You can plan all the deliveries once you completed the adoption process. The first pomegranates, which are of the Emek variety, begin to ripen at the beginning of August and are harvested until the beginning of September. Then comes the variety Shani from the second half of August and lasts until mid-September. Finally the Acco variety comes at the end of August and can last until the end of September.
