organic farm
Suryalila Yoga Retreat Centre is located in the heart of Andalusia, the agricultural capital of Spain
At Suryalila, our organic farm and gardens are much more than a source of fresh produce, they are living expressions of our values: connection to nature, sustainability, wellness and care. Nestled in the rolling hills of Andalusia, on fertile land that was once a traditional olive farm, we are dedicated to stewarding this earth with respect and purpose, growing food that nourishes both body and spirit.
WHAT WE GROW
Our gardens and orchards produce a colourful seasonal bounty throughout the year. We cultivate:
-
Herbs & vegetables — fragrant rosemary, basil, mint, oregano, thyme, chives and a variety of greens, lettuces and seasonal vegetables for our kitchen.
-
Fruit trees — figs, peaches, pears, apricots, pomegranates, apples, grapes, citrus and more dot the landscape, offering sweet rewards in season.
-
Olives & olive oil — our ancient olive grove yields fruit that we hand-harvest each autumn and press locally for rich, cold-pressed olive oil used year-round in our kitchen.
Everything we grow is 100 % organic, no chemicals, no artificial fertilisers, only soil, sun, water and intention.
Seasonal Living & Farm-to-Table Cuisine
You’ll find our farm woven into daily life at Suryalila: our team gathers herbs, edible flowers and fruits to enrich every dish. From the zesty fruits in the morning for breakfast to the sun-ripened tomatoes in today’s salad, much of what you see on your plate has grown right here.
LAND STEWARDSHIP AND REGENERATION
Our farm is part of a living vision to regenerate land and restore biodiversity. Through our sister project, Danyadara, we apply permaculture principles to improve soil health, conserve water and rewild the landscape on a larger scale.
A new and exciting step in this journey is the arrival of 40 sheep, who will play an essential role in our land regeneration efforts. Through managed, rotational grazing, they help naturally fertilise the soil, stimulate plant growth, reduce wildfire risk and strengthen the overall resilience of the ecosystem. Their presence supports a balanced cycle between animals, plants and earth, allowing the land to restore itself in a gentle and sustainable way.
Together, we are transforming these hills into a thriving ecosystem where people, plants, animals and wildlife flourish side by side.
Danyadara Permaculture Project
Danyadara is our permaculture project, which has grown into its own non-profit organisation.
