Five generations of farming
It all started 300 years ago with a land of merely 2 acres. Our ancestor, George, started with a small family dairy and a tiny vegetable garden, just enough to provide for his family. Five generations later, our farm has grown to 2000 acres and is 300 goats and sheep strong. However, we still respect nature’s ways just like George did all those years ago, and don’t force or fast-forward anything. That’s why we still produce mouth-watering vegetables and cheese.
Just like grandpa George used to do all those years ago.
Naxian Farm Experience
Our Produce
Our main product is milk. We milk our goats and sheep once or twice a day (depending on the season) and we deliver the milk to the union dairy. We also make traditional cheese by hand, the old way, but that’s mainly for friends and family. Oh, and experiences!
We also make our own house wine from our small vineyard. In the garden, there’s plenty of trees that make some tasty fruits: pommegranates, oranges, lemons, loquats, quinces, apricots, figs, and more. Next to the trees, we plant our artichokes, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, melons, watermelons and eggplants / aubergines.
Yes, a farmer’s life can be qute busy!

Get to know the actual, traditional ways of farming life in Naxos, by taking one of our experiences. You’ll stroll around the farm and become one with nature. Depending on the experience you take, you’ll also help making traditional cheese, or you’ll prepare a full course of mediterranean meal, using nothing but the farm’s produce.
