Valencia, the tropical one
Valencia's microclimates explained: why in Sumacàrcer, right by the Júcar river, a mild bubble forms where avocados grow happily.
Adapt or resist?
How the orange tree adapts to a changing climate: what it does in the face of heat, wind and heavy rain, and how we support it by caring for the soil.
What slips through your plans
Why out in the fields a plan is a map drawn in pencil: what the weather, breakdowns and the DANA floods teach us about planning, adapting and carrying on.
Food shouldn't end up in the trash
The new food waste law and what it means for us out in the fields: why fruit with marks on the outside can be perfect on the inside.
The secret the earth holds🌱
The symbiosis beneath our orange trees: fungi, legumes and cover crops that keep the soil alive and balanced. We'll tell you all about it, straight from the farm.
Avocado gets a worse rap than it deserves 🥑
The water footprint of avocados, seen from the field: how we irrigate with water from the Júcar and drip systems, and why an avocado tree and an orange tree drink about the same in summer.
Sometimes you have to play cupid for the garden
How courgettes get pollinated, with their male and female flowers, and what we do in the vegetable patch when the bees don’t arrive in time. Courgettes are back in the shop.
There are no more left on the trees
Mandarin season is coming to an end. We'll tell you why the tree decides when the season is over and which seasonal produce we're still harvesting.
Automated tomatoes? 🍅
Valencian tomatoes can't be put on autopilot: we walk you through the staking, pruning of side shoots, leaf thinning and watering they need right up to the June harvest.
Stopping in the field has its trick
Stopping in the field isn't easy. We'll tell you how a farmer finds time for a break and why that quiet moment helps make better decisions and take good care of the fruit.
It's better not to live in fear.
A calm reflection in the face of scary news: how out in the fields we isolate and care for a struggling plant, and why it's better not to live in fear.
Some plants have their own accent
Why the same variety tastes different depending on where it grows: Salustiana oranges and Lamuyo peppers show how place and care make all the difference.
