BioArandio is a family farm dedicated to growing organic blueberries
It came into being at the end of 2013, with the firm intention of developing a crop still relatively unknown in our area, yet with enormous growth potential. Furthermore, this fruit, i.e. the blueberry, has extraordinary properties making it the ‘King of the antioxidants’. Its extremely high concentration of antioxidants (higher than any other fruit or vegetable), prevents and protects against chronic illnesses besides delaying the aging process.
Our farm is enclaved inn an ideal setting, in the very heart of Goierri (in Erandio, just 8Km outside Bilbao), surrounded by oak, maple, pine and chestnut trees. An area of 3 hectares dedicated to growing organic blueberries.
We have created a plantation of blueberries of different varieties over the years in this setting with a lot of work and care, starting out with small plants to control their growth and development right from the very beginning.
Thus, we have been able to put into practice our determined commitment to sustainable organic farming, controlling each detail of the process to produce an absolutely healthy fruit without chemical fertilisers or pesticides, and using solely natural fertilisers, in addition to carrying out environment friendly farming.
Given the fact blueberries already have marvellous properties for our health; these benefits become two-fold when you consume 100% organic fruit.
This is why we wanted to develop a production as large as possible, and to this effect we have planted up to 6 different blueberry varieties, with different ripening stages. This enables us to have a production available from July to the beginning of November, i.e. 5 months during which we can feel proud of being able to serve an extremely fresh quality product.
Our motto is ‘To harvest and serve’
Not only is our fruit not stored in cold chambers for days on end, but we harvest our blueberries and serve immediately, thereby enabling us to guarantee our fruit reaches the customer in optimum conditions of freshness and taste.
