A young avocado tree in the orchard

Two varieties carry
the orchard.

Gem and Lamb Hass make up eight trees in every ten, with Wurtz and Fuerte planted alongside them.

All chosen for the same reason: fruit that travels well, eats beautifully, and arrives when the market wants it.

Gem

half the orchard. A modern variety bred in California, prized for eating quality and for a tree that stays compact enough to plant closely. Its skin darkens as it ripens, and it comes in later in the season, when supply elsewhere is thinning.

Lamb Hass

hree trees in ten. A name buyers know, with the flavour and shelf life that made Hass the world’s avocado, on a tree that suits our system.

Fuerte

the classic green-skinned avocado, long grown around the Mediterranean and still the one many people here prefer. Thin-skinned, buttery, and picked when Hass is out of season.

Wurtz

a naturally small tree carrying green fruit that matures through the summer, when little else is ready.

The season

The harvest cycle

The orchard was planted from August 2025 and the first fruit is forming now on the earliest trees. We expect our first commercial harvest in 2028, and we are building relationships ahead of it rather than after.

Direction

Where it will go.

Lebanon first, then the Gulf, then Europe as the certification comes into place. We would rather grow into each market properly than announce all three at once.

Beyond the fresh fruit

More than fresh.

A share of any harvest cannot be sold fresh — fruit that falls, fruit marked on one side, fruit knocked in handling. We are developing two routes that give it a destination: cold-pressed oil, and freezing. Both are in development ahead of the first harvest.
