Heliofarm - Helios in Greek means Sun.
Farm Project Description

The farm project is based on a regenerative program that will have chicken, organic vegetables and Cannabis growing. We hope to start with the chicken and implement the others elements of our project progressively. We'd like to put in a NFT hydroponic system that will recycle the water and produce healthy seedling indoors that we can replant outside. We'd also like to get involved in agro-tourism as our backgrounds are very well suited to provide a welcoming and homey space for all our visitors.
