Ethra Cycladic Farm founded in 2014 and began as an organic certified cultivating unit located on the beautiful island of Syros, Greece. Since 2016, it has expanded to a total of 11 acres.
The hot and dry climate of the Cyclades islands led us in choosing to produce sea fennel often known as rock samphire (crithmum maritimum). Apart from climatic reasons, we opted to cultivate sea fennel since it is a superfood with a long history and significant mental and physical health advantages. In fact, sea fennel, is considered as one of the most important coastal herbs and due to its nutritional features, it is a highly valuable ingredient for the Mediterranean diet. Its medicinal qualities have been recognized since Hippocrates (4th century BC), Dioskourides, the father of pharmacology, and Plinius, the great botanologist. Rock samphire helps to avoid heart disease by acting as an energizer, appetite stimulant, and detoxifier.
We see farming and agriculture as a significant environmental responsibility, and we operate as stewards of the land, following sustainable agricultural practices in order to provide our clients with the highest quality pure ingredients.
In addition, we've developed strategic partnerships with renowned chefs in effort to enhance Greek gastronomic culture via innovative and delish recipes.
Rock samphire is a tongue stimulant that makes a great appetizer and can help the body and mind. Following 2 years of extensive research and constant laboratory testing, we have crafted products based on the “farm to fork” concept, serving our vision for refined organic gastronomy.
