The Edem Fruits farm is located in the northwest of Crete. In a humid, almost subtropical climate, in the face of the Lefká Ori (“White Mountains”), Apostolos Mylonakis grows his avocados, oranges and other fruits. Because of the abundance of water, Apostolos Mylonakis does not have to irrigate his trees at all. This distinguishes his avocado cultivation from many other cultivation areas, where the high water demand of the avocado trees has sometimes led to considerable negative consequences for the ecosystem.
Since 2022, the Edem Fruits farm has been certified according to the Biocyclic Vegan Standard.
