RELATIONSHIP WITH FARMERS & LOCAL COMMUNITY
We support and contribute to the development of livestock farming by transferring our expertise, know-how and best practices to the farmers, regarding issues such as herd growth and feeding, as well as the improvement of milk quality. Additionally, we support them on the medical treatment of their herds.
We support our region, Epirus, by continuously offering job and education opportunities. Every year, we sponsor several local athletic clubs and we offer local students the opportunity to study in the American Farm School in Thessaloniki, through a scholarship program.
We are very conscious about the current environmental issues and we try to act responsibly by investing in sustainable practices, such as water re-usage, CO2 emissions & waste reduction technologies.
