Triantafyllou almond Farm is located at Makrychori, a beautiful rural village in Thessaly Greece. Makrychori is blessed with a unique natural landscape and rich flora, making it ideal for almond cultivation. With the imposing Mount Kissavos standing majestically to the east, the landscape includes fertile fields that stretch across the foothills of the mountain.
Kissavos, also known as Ossa in antiquity, is a mountain rich in history and cultural heritage. According to mythology, the mountain was home to the Nymphs and is often associated with the god Apollo. Its strategic location made it an important landmark in ancient times, serving as a border between Thessaly and Macedonia.
The area of Makrychori, with its fertile soils, has historically been a center of agricultural development. The fertile lands and favorable climate have supported the growth of farming communities that have successfully cultivated the land. Agricultural production has always been a pillar of the local economy, with almond cultivation being an important part of this heritage.
The almond tree (Prunus dulcis) is one of the most important trees in the region. The area's nutrient-rich soil, combined with the temperate climate, contributes to the production of high-quality almonds. The warm days and cool summer nights, along with the right amount of sunlight, are ideal for growing almonds with a unique flavour and texture.
The traditional farming methods practiced in Makrychori are combined with modern techniques, ensuring the production of Greek almonds that stand out for their purity and nutritional value. We at Triantafyllou Farm take pride in our work, continuing a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Kissavos, with its rich history and natural beauty, is not only a geographical feature of the area but also a symbol of resilience and inspiration. At its foothills, almond cultivation thrives, producing products that reflect the wealth and authenticity of Thessalian land.
The harmonious coexistence of crops and natural vegetation creates a unique ecosystem that highlights the beauty and richness of the Thessalian land. Makrychori, with its rich flora and favourable cultivation conditions, continues to serve as a model of agricultural development and environmental sensitivity.
