The farm has been evolving in recent decades, adapting the traditional and sustainable uses and methods of the place, to a modern agriculture and livestock farming, ecological and respectful of its natural environment. The extension of the farm is a key element to allow a global ecological exploitation and self-sufficient to a large extent, with a majority of Mediterranean forest and shrub pasture, allows to maintain an extensive native goat herd, as well as a grove and a
regenerative or conservation agriculture that allows extreme care of natural soils. These complementary and fully ecological tasks complete a basically self-sufficient productive cycle without external inputs.

Our History

The current ecological agricultural and livestock farm, comprises the union of three farms, La Dehesa, with La Venta de Cantarraijan or del Fraile and El Campillo whose history comes from its first owners, the Society of Jesus, in the seventeenth century, and that, after its expropriation in the eighteenth century, was dedicated to the cultivation of vines and cereals for two centuries until the phylloxera crisis. In the 30's of the last century it was acquired by the Antúnez family, which is oriented to agricultural and livestock use until today.
The La Robla farmhouse, built in the 19th century by the Castell-Luna family, is also part of the farm.
The history of these farmhouses, as well as their architecture dating back several centuries, can be seen in the book published by the Junta de Andalucía "Cortijos, haciendas y lagares" Architecture of the large farms of Andalusia.
