The holistic community project Korogonas Ark was born at the end of 2012 upon the virgin land of the small Korogonas plateau in southern Peloponnese, 25km west of Monemvasia and 25km south of Molaoi. It is a member of the Global Ecovillages Network (GEN).
Located approximately 120 meters above sea level, facing south, with a mild climate and clean air — the sea is visible from the land.
With nature their primary concern, the founders preserve the area’s wild flora in all its wealth and biodiversity. Wild olive, carob and pear trees and wild asparagus and herbs are protected, while more than 300 trees and a variety of bushes have been cultivated from scratch. Vegetable gardens have been created using natural farming and permaculture practices.
Olives from both wild olive trees (Olea oleaster) and cultivars are harvested exclusively by hand — yielding super-olive oil and wild olive oil considered a super food. Carobs and wild sage blossoms, gathered by hand, offer a multiplicity of healing benefits.
The fields of Korogonas Ark feature natural paths and gathering spaces under the shade of big trees named the Princess, the Four Graces, and the Dancer. Situated between two villages roughly 7 kilometers away, this Peloponnese community farm lies far from intensive agriculture and urban pollution.
This 3-hour regenerative farming experience includes a guided tour, an olive oil tasting session from wild olive trees and cultivars, and a shared meal prepared from the farm’s own organic products and superfoods — with emphasis on food combinations, raw ingredients, healing smoothies, and peaceful diet in all its forms.
