Oscar, Gema, and their children Amanda and Jonas are grateful for the confidence and trust that they've received during the last 35 years they have been engaged in organic farming.
A holistic approach to agricultural production, which respects nature at every point in the process and helps create and maintain healthy soil. Above all we are farmers and we believe in family-scale production, based on quality and transparency in a way that allows for product to producer identification and product traceability. At the same time we consider social responsibility as fundamental, thus basing our relationship with our workers on an ethical and person-centred approach. It would be contradictory for us to produce organically without ethical and decent working conditions.

Oscar Morell S.L was founded in 1984 by Oscar Morell and Gema Margos
with the principle aim of the cultivation and sale of high quality organic fruit, primarily oranges and
grapes. More than 35 years later, production continues, and we still
hold firm to our ideal of growing in harmony with nature. We are
based in the countryside outside Cheste, 25 kilometres from Valencia,
on the Mediterranean Coast of Spain, an area of high quality
cultivation of both Citrus and Vineyards, yielding a unique flavour in
both cases.
From the outset, having
inherited the land from our ancestors, we’ve always been certain of the
principles of biodiversity and of respect for the natural cycles of
cultivation. For this reason we have distanced ourselves from the
aggressive and unsustainable production methodologies which focus solely on efficiency above all. This
position has been re-affirmed in reaction to the arrival in the 1980’s
of chemical-based pesticides and fertilisers, which, for us, epitomise
the aforementioned practices that we so very much disagree with.
Our
philosophy is simple: quality first. In the same way, we sell only our
very own products. Our motto of “our own harvest” has been fundamental
in developing trustworthy business relationships with our clients
during the years.
Our methods are the
fruit of more than a quarter century experience, and inherit from the
established approaches of organic production. The result: our high
quality fresh oranges and grapes, which are exported primarily to
France, Germany, and Austria. In 1986 we were certified with the
Asociación Vida Sana (The Healthy Life Association) and since 1994 our
fruit produce has been certified by CAE-CV (The Spanish Committee of
Organic Agriculture).
