It’s Organic September, a month for celebrating organic food, sustainable farming and soil health.

In our opinion, and we’re sure we’re not alone, organic is the only way we should be farming. Sadly that isn’t the world we live in.

When we started Querubi, farming organically was non-negotiable. We met this land as virgin soil, and there was no way we were going to kill her off with chemicals. Protecting the land and its soil was the whole aim. It isn’t our land. We are stewards of it until we pass it on to the next. Why would we ruin something so pure?

We also wanted that purity to reach you in the taste of the oil. Those who know it will know the first smell. Freshly cut grass. Healthy trees. An oil that, through the nose alone, takes you to the farm it came from. Chemically farmed oils don’t smell like that. There’s something off in the nose.

We are farmers. Our single responsibility is the care of our soils. Only thriving soils yield extraordinary fruit, and only extraordinary fruit creates the purest of olive oils. Without thriving soil, we have nothing.

So here’s to every farmer choosing the harder, better way. Before synthetic pesticides and herbicides arrived, this was simply how food was grown. Within living memory. Our grandparents farmed this way because there was no other way.

Hurray to our fellow organic farmers. Let’s keep fighting to keep our food pure and clean.

Thank you

The Querubi team 💚

Doggie update.
Meet the latest members of the team, Blazer and Truck. They met as friends in the rescue centre. Truck was already promised to a family, but when we went to collect Blazer, Truck’s family had fallen through, and as you can see, it was a bond we could not break.

They have brought some new fun energy to the crew.

The buck moon. July’s full moon, named for the season the deer start growing their antlers back.

Summertime on the farm - sunsets, olive oil tastings, and slow moments amongst the trees.

This summer, like so much of Europe, we have been living under an extraordinary heat. Weeks of it. The kind that settles into the soil and asks something of everyone who works the land.
For farmers, the cost is real, thirsty trees, stressed crops, longer days spent protecting what we’ve spent years growing. And in heat like this, the whole community stays alert, watchful of the dry hills and the risk they carry.
It’s also a time when community counts. Out here you look out for the people who live near you, a neighbour who might need a hand, someone working alone, anyone who could be struggling in the heat. Checking in, sharing what you have, doing your bit. That’s how it’s always worked in the countryside.
For now, we keep going, watching the skies, looking after each other, and hoping for rain.

Recently, Ellie stayed with us and spent a morning walking the farm. She wrote about the way we farm so beautifully that we wanted to share her words:

“But beautiful places are not particularly rare. What is rare is spending time with people who genuinely care.

At every stage, the team here seems to have chosen the difficult path over the easy one. When faced with challenges, they research, experiment and adapt. They have invested in long-term solutions rather than quick fixes; they prioritise quality over convenience. They clearly care deeply about the land they are responsible for and the people who work alongside them.”

We were so touched reading this because it really is our ethos. It’s how we live, the choices we’ve made and choose to live by, here on the land.

Thank you, Ellie.

The Cleopatra is one of the longest-lived butterflies in Europe, an adult can survive almost a year, hibernating through winter folded up like a dead leaf, then unfurling again in spring. The orange on its wings earned it the regal name.

Butterflies have always stood for the soul and its changes. The Greeks used the same word, psyche, for both - the idea that something can shed an old form completely and float off as something else.

What they rarely tell you is how much patience it takes to film one. They almost never sit still, and the moment you think you have them, they lift off into the green. This one stayed just long enough to be caught.

The chicory has come up in abundance this year, more of it than we’ve ever seen on the farm.

It’s a wild perennial, sky-blue and daisy-like, on tall wiry stems. The flowers open at first light and close again by early afternoon, so dependably that Linnaeus once set a clock by them. (Linnaeus being the 18th-century Swedish botanist who gave us the system for naming every plant, and who noticed that flowers keep their own hours.) Beneath the soil it sends down a deep taproot that breaks up compacted ground and draws nutrients toward the surface — quietly improving the land it grows on. The bees find it early in the day, before the heat.

We didn’t plant it. It simply arrived, the way things do on land left to find its own balance. Each year the farm shows us something we haven’t seen before, and this year it was the chicory. That is the quiet joy of farming this way, you don’t control it, you watch it change, and you’re grateful to be there to notice.
