Finca La Vizcaína
Organic farm
In San Cristóbal de la Laguna
Located in Valle Guerra, Tenerife, on the road from Tacoronte to Tejina, at number 20, just 15 minutes from Puerto de la Cruz, and in an easily accessible area, is our ecological farm “La Vizcaína”, with an approximate area of 50,000m2 of land, entirely dedicated to organic farming.

Environmentally friendly
Ecological agriculture is a system to work a self-supporting agricultural plot of land based on the optimum use of natural resources without using synthetic chemicals or genetically modified organisms (GMOs) -neither as a fertiliser nor to fight off plagues, thus managing to obtain organic foodstuffs while preserving the fertility of the soil and respecting the environment, always in a sustainable and balanced manner.
This form of production, in addition to taking ecological aspects into account, includes in its approach an improvement of the quality of life of its inhabitants, in such a way that its objectives are aimed at achieving the complete sustainability of the agricultural production system, i.e. to constitute a social, ecological and financially sustainable agro system.
Commitment to sustainability
Our philosophy
We are a family company that believes in organic farming, practicing it since 2007. After some intense years searching for the best farming practices, we have obtained the best products of each season while always adhering to environmental and ecological policies that ensure our products are of excellent quality.
Since 2008 we can pride ourselves of having been granted the certificate issued by the Regulating Council of Ecological Agriculture of the Canary Islands, CRAE, Operator # 2511P, something which informs the consumer of the steps we follow for the sowing and obtention of the products.
Crops
Seasonal products
Among the crops we have bananas, papayas, strawberries, mangoes, oranges, avocados, acerola cherries, pineapples, etc. and we have a crop plan which is adapted to the season. Also, in an area of the farm we have a space devoted to chickens and the production of ecological eggs. The fowl enjoy an existence which is free of chemicals, artificial lighting and cages, for they are out in the open and have adequate installations for their development, as well as feeding which is also based on ecological agriculture.
Health and quality
From the earth to the table
Our objective is to provide clients with an excellent product which is also good for their health, while taking care of the environment and harmonising productivity with the needs of our surroundings, the landscape and Nature that make it possible. It is for this reason that our products go from the farm to your table, without disregarding sanitary controls, and with the passage of only a few hours from collection to your plate.
