My name is Danielle, and my love for herbs has guided me on a remarkable journey toward holistic well-being. Born in Surinam, South America, I was raised in a family that cherished the healing power of nature. Our New Year's Eve traditions involved showering under fragrant floral waters, leaving us feeling renewed and connected to the natural world.
Driven by a thirst for knowledge, I pursued a Natural Nutritionist degree and delved into Ayurveda, merging Eastern and Western wisdom in my quest to understand the immense benefits of herbs.
🌺
It was during this exploration that my family and I acquired a property in the breathtaking volcanic mountains of Garrotxa, Catalonia, in Northeast Spain.
However, as we embarked on our new venture, we faced the challenges of reconstructing the existing Masia and finding a suitable place to live. To overcome these hurdles, we moved to the picturesque valley of Osona, where we also began cultivating herbs while the reconstruction was underway in Garrotxa.
🌺
Through strategic planning and utilisation of our expertise, we established a harmonious connection between the fertile lands of Garrotxa and the thriving valley of Osona. In Osona, we managed the production and distribution of our meticulously crafted herbal creations, ensuring that our natural remedies reached individuals and families seeking well-being.
🌺
The abundant resources and fertile soil of Garrotxa nurtured a diverse variety of medicinal plants, each carrying its own unique healing properties. With great care and devotion, we cultivated our own herbal sanctuary, selecting and growing herbs known for their therapeutic benefits.
🌺
Combining the principles of Ayurveda with Western herbal traditions, we created herbal infusions that embodied the richness of both worlds, offering a holistic approach to wellness.
Our journey in herb cultivation and creation was guided by a dedication to quality and an unwavering belief in the incredible potential of herbs.
🌺
Today, as a family united by our passion, we stand proudly in our role as stewards of nature, cultivating herbs that carry the essence of Garrotxa's landscapes and Osona's spirit.
🌺
When you savour our herbal infusions, envision the beauty of the Garrotxa mountains and the flourishing valley of Osona. With each sip, you'll feel the harmonious energy of our efforts, as the healing power of herbs infuses your being
🌺.
We invite you to join us on this extraordinary path toward well-being, where the wisdom of nature and the magic of herbs converge to nurture you and your family.
Embrace the herbal wisdom that has shaped our journey and experience the transformative benefits it brings.

"A Personal Journey: Embracing Herbal Wisdom for Family Well-being in Garrotxa".
Our Journey
Our Journey begins in the municipality of Sant Joan Les Fonts, in the province of Girona, in the mountains of the Garrotxa region. Here we found two neighboring properties: Cassica del Camp del Bosc and La Cassica de Vivers.
🌺
The book Notes Historiques Dels Masos i Molins de Sant Joan Les Fonts refers to the year 1851when all this land was originally used for agriculture.
🌺
With its 10 hectares of unspoiled forest, magnificent oak trees, wild boars and birds, it has been a pearl silently waiting to be discovered.
🌺
In 2014, we stumbled upon this beautiful site and immediately fell in love.

The Region
La Garrotxa is a region located in Catalonia, Spain, known for its volcanic landscape and natural beauty.
The area's medium-altitude location, ranging from 300 to 1,027 meters, contributes to its diverse range of reliefs, orientations, and altitudes. This variation in elevation also plays a role in the region's climate.
🌺
The volcanic geology of the region has significantly influenced the soil composition, giving rise to unique edaphic features. Volcanic soils found in La Garrotxa are renowned for their high fertility and exceptional nutrient retention capacity. These soils possess distinct characteristics that are not commonly found elsewhere in the Iberian Peninsula.
🌺
The combination of the region's diverse topography, high rainfall, and volcanic soils creates a favorable environment for various agricultural activities. La Garrotxa is known for its cultivation of crops such as cereals, fruits, vegetables, and vineyards. Additionally, the volcanic landscape attracts tourists who come to explore the area's natural parks, hiking trails, and volcanic cones, adding to the region's economic and cultural significance.
