OUR TEIKEI COMMUNITIES
WHAT IS THE TEIKEI AGORA?
THE TEIKEI AGORA IS MORE THAN A PLATFORM – IT IS A MOVEMENT.
A community that consciously decides not to leave their food supply to corporations and wholesale trade, but to take it into their own hands.

ON CAPE AKRITAS,
a nature reserve on the Peloponnese, grow the olive trees that are lovingly tended and harvested by the farming communities of the TEIKEI Olive Movement. At the center of our work is the question to the producers:
"What do you need to continue farming sustainably?"
This question forms the foundation for cooperation with the olive farmers on the Greek peninsula.

ANOTHER CENTRAL ELEMENT OF THE TEIKEI VALUES
is evident in the structures around a well-organized olive oil press in Sparta.
It makes its entire infrastructure available to producers to strengthen networking and expand sustainable and meaningful olive oil production. The olives are carefully hand-picked, sorted on site and packed in crates.
Within 24 hours, they are processed into high-quality, cold-pressed olive oil at the nearest press.

THE FARMING COMMUNITY IN VASILITSI,
one of the first, has existed since 2014. It is organized by Panagiotis Marantos, his wife Vicky and Felix and serves as a working example of how olive cultivation and olive oil production can look within the framework of TEIKEI Olive.
They are producers themselves and work closely with the producers in their environment where possible, coordinate the annual harvest and olive oil production, and create long-term perspectives through socially and ecologically sustainable management.

THROUGH THIS COOPERATIVE APPROACH
not only is local value creation strengthened, but the vision of a solidarity-based and regenerative agriculture is also put into practice.
The organization and implementation of TEIKEI values remains in the hands of local communities, which independently develop the best possible solutions for their region. The communities in Vasilitsi and Sparta exemplify how cultivation and production can succeed in harmony with TEIKEI principles.
