The experience

Lemonia Farm is located in Chiliomoudou, a village at the foot of the White Mountains in the prefecture of Chania. The farm raises goats, sheep, chickens and there is also a traditional taverna. In the summer months we are engaged in beekeeping, which is quite a demanding job, during which we wear protective uniform. In the winter months we are engaged in olive harvesting.
