Savoring Authentic Greece: The Margi Farm’s Farm-to-Fork Experience

Years ago, when The Margi Farm was beginning its journey, I had the unique opportunity to visit this budding sanctuary. Founded by two visionary brothers, Yiagos & Theo Agiostratitis, the farm represented their dream of reconnecting people with the origins of their food and celebrating Greece’s authentic flavors. Seeing their beautiful vision flourish today is truly admirable.

Nestled in the serene landscapes of Kalyvia, Attica, the farm has grown into a peaceful haven, dedicated to sustainable agriculture and rich culinary traditions.

Embracing the Farm-to-Fork Philosophy

Over the years, I have witnessed a growing appreciation for the concept of simple luxury—a return to authenticity, to the wisdom of our forefathers, and a slower, more intentional way of life. The Margi Farm embraced this philosophy long before it became a trend. For over a decade, they have remained dedicated to cultivating real flavors and serving honest culinary experiences that speak to the soul.

Spanning 10 acres, the farm is a vibrant patchwork of organic gardens, olive groves, and vineyards. Traditional, chemical-free farming methods ensure every ingredient retains its purity, honoring both nature and tradition. Each section of the farm is perfectly aligned and carefully labeled, creating a harmonious landscape that is as visually captivating as it is nourishing.

 

A Culinary Experience Like No Other

At Margi Farm, you’ll be immersed in a truly authentic Greek experience. At arrival, you are greeted with house-made tsipouro (if you haven’t tried it before—be warned that it’s strong). Following your first introduction to the Greek drinking culture, you will then continue with a guided tour led by passionate agronomists who explain the farm’s sustainable practices.

Children especially love gathering fresh eggs and meeting farm animals, including the charming rescue donkey Billy.

The heart of the experience is the farm-to-table meal crafted by Michelin-starred Chef Panagiotis Giakalis, featuring seasonal produce transformed into traditional Greek dishes. Imagine savoring freshly baked bread, artisanal cheeses, and lamb roasted over open coals beneath a fragrant pergola—the essence of Greece captured on a plate.

 

Beyond Dining: Engaging Experiences

The Margi Farm offers enriching activities beyond just dining. Here you can partake in olive oil tastings, deepening your understanding of this Greek culinary cornerstone. Hands-on cooking classes allow you to create traditional dishes using freshly harvested ingredients, while seasonal events such as grape stomping festivals encourage everyone to embrace the joyful rhythms of farm life.
