ON THE FARM
Our working culture at Farm Finn is based on the Islamic custom of holding the land in deep respect, “Walk on the Earth in humility” (25:63), which is interpreted as meaning that believers are to protect natures’ many bounties.
Whilst there is currently no Organic Certification in Morocco, we have not used any chemicals on our land for more than 10 years and hold the well-being of both animals and the land in the highest regard. This helps us produce an extraordinarily high quality of fruit, vegetables, nuts, olive oil and dairy produce (eggs and goats’ milk). As we fill our gardens with drought resistant pollinator plants and flowers, we also hope to soon produce our own honey.
In every decision, we attempt to strike a balance and consider the development of the entire property and our associations with the land and our community, rather than concentrating only on profit. We consider the land to be in continuous transformation and treat the farm as a living organism. Just under half of the 1.5 hectares of Farm Finn property is dedicated to meadow and land left for nature wilding.
IN THE HOUSE
From the outset, our intention when designing the concept of Farm Finn, was to maximise the positive benefits and minimise the negative consequences of introducing tourism to the village of Loubar al Fuq. In attempting to realise this we have;
Prioritised local employment and purchasing. Wherever possible we have used locally sourced labour, artisans and materials within the construction of the farm houses and the design of our gardens. This has ensured that as much money as possible goes immediately back in to the community of Loubar al Fuq.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Shower less.Of course, we want you to enjoy your time with us and we love our bathrooms!! However long showers use a lot of water. As such please reduce water pressure and take less time in the shower than you might ordinarily at home. Alternatively, why not share that shower water with a friend.
Collect your shower water. Whilst all shower water goes into our reed bed system, in each bathroom we have included a container to collect any water run off that there may be as you await hot water to arrive from our solar water heating system.
