My name is Kostas (Konstantinos), and I am a freelance Web Developer. I initially studied Physics, and I have a MSc in Nanotechnology. I work online remotely and have a love for nature.
I have recently started taking care of my family property farm in Kefalonia. This is a 10000 sq.m property located in the North part of the island. The house farm contains around 25 olive trees and a small vineyard + I am now setting up a new vineyard in a field near the place.
The farming process is performed for the needs of the family annual wine & olive oil, and we intend to create a small wine production in the future.
The vineyard also provides a small production of Tsipouro, which is the Greek version of the Italian Grappa.
There will be the possibility to blend with all processes and techniques.
Organic methods: I simply collect my olive trees with hand tools and olive tree vibrators. I don't spray the trees with anything chemical. The same goes for the vineyard.
Certifications: This is a family farm; there is no official organization name.
Type of help needed:
Reconstructing the old vineyard
Taking care of the Olive trees
Produce wine
Produce Tsipouro
Produce Olive Oil
Building a new vineyard in a nearby field
Internet access available
