AGRITOURISM

Malta Sunripe offers the opportunity to experience the unique character of Maltese agriculture while journeying to the heart of this tradition in the village of Mġarr in Malta. We are two farming families and together with the local agricultural community, our visitors take part in an authentic contemporary tradition.

Unlike our neighbouring Mediterranean countries and mainland Europe, Maltese farming is characterised by relatively smaller fields. In conjunction with our climate and calcium-rich soils this has been a defining feature in the evolution of contemporary Maltese agriculture. On our tours, guests will experience first hand how Maltese farmers have successfully adapted their methods to these unique challenges in the past and present to deliver a high quality product.

Tours vary between 3 and 5 hours, subject to our visitors’ requirements. All audio-visual material is available in 11 languages: Maltese, English, Chinese, Russian, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Danish, Japanese and Dutch.

  • Site visits to farmers’ holdings and fields in Mġarr Valley
