Citrus, eco-tourism, glamping, carbon credits, and a native forest in transition. Woman-owned, first-generation, post-DANA. Applying to Ma Earth Round 4, April 2027.
Three-year CAECV organic conversion — registration in preparation. EU organic conversion payments of €300–600/ha/year during transition. The same practices that build soil carbon and raise terpene levels in the fruit.
Guided grove walks, geology tours, harvest experiences, and overnight stays registered under Decreto 4/2024. The hillside is the product — visitors come to understand what limestone, altitude, and time do to a piece of fruit.
Soil carbon baseline established with IVIA-accredited laboratory in 2026. Agreena platform for Verra VCS verified credits. EU CRCF market opens approximately 2028 — baseline started now means documented improvement ready to sell.
1.7 ha Aleppo pine to Quercus ilex — clearing the Franco-era plantation and replanting with the native climax species. In 15 years, Mediterranean limestone woodland and sequestered carbon. The full story →
The long-term development of the land beyond the grove. Glamping structures on the limestone terraces, rural accommodation rooms, an outdoor event venue, and the infrastructure to host people on the hillside properly. Currently in planning and construction — the basecamp is being built by hand, this season. Full operation targeted for 2029–2030 via Declaración de Interés Comunitario.
See the full development plan →Finca Tariqa sits on an 80-million-year-old Cretaceous limestone hillside. The geology creates the terroir that makes the oranges what they are. That same story — the water, the rock, the altitude, the varieties — is what visitors come to understand.
We are not building a resort. Eco-tourism at Finca Tariqa means small groups, real work, and genuine access to the farm. A walk through the grove explaining how limestone stress concentrates flavour. A morning picking oranges in the harvest season. A night sleeping on the terrace under the Valencian sky.
The tourism offer builds in phases — from guided experiences and harvest stays in 2027, toward permanent glamping and a venue over the following years, as the Declaración de Interés Comunitario makes its way through the Valencian planning system.
Volunteers and skilled builders are constructing the first infrastructure on the hillside — sleeping structures, compost toilets, a working basecamp. This is the foundation everything else rests on. The work is happening now.
Registered under Decreto 4/2024 agro-tourism rules. Guided geology and grove walks. Harvest weekends during the picking season. Glamping structures (demountable) in place on the terraces. Meals from the farm and local market.
If the Declaración de Interés Comunitario is granted by the Generalitat Valenciana, permanent accommodation rooms and the event venue begin construction. Pool, garage, full perimeter fence in place.
Rural rooms open. Venue takes first event bookings — private dinners, retreats, weddings. The farm runs as a dual-revenue operation: citrus and hospitality, each feeding the other's story.
The terraced hillside at Finca Tariqa is one of the most distinctive agricultural landscapes in Valencia. The plan is to put people on it — in well-built, small-footprint structures that let the landscape do the work.
Canvas bell tents or similar demountable structures on the stone terraces. Set among the orange trees, looking across the valley. Each pitch is a cleared terrace with a level platform, a private outdoor space, and the hillside as the view.
Small timber or steel-framed huts on wheels — insulated, with a wood burner for winter stays. Positioned on the upper terraces near the holm oak reforestation zone. Waking up to the forest and the grove below.
Four to eight permanent rooms in the restored farmhouse and new structures — registered as alojamiento rural under Valencian tourism law. For visitors who want more than a tent but the same view and the same farm.
The legal track: Demountable glamping structures can be authorised under Decreto 4/2024 as ancillary agro-tourism infrastructure — no land use change required. Permanent accommodation requires a Declaración de Interés Comunitario from the Generalitat Valenciana. We are pursuing both tracks simultaneously.
Full development plan →Finca Tariqa was purchased in November 2025 by a woman under 40 with no inherited farming tradition. The first season was spent reading five years of cooperative records, commissioning a geology report, and learning what an 80-million-year-old hillside was trying to say.
Organic certification through CAECV is in preparation. The forest management plan is in preparation. Eco-tourism registration under Decreto 4/2024 is in preparation.
Ma Earth runs quadratic crowdfunding for grassroots nature regeneration projects. Every supporter multiplies the matching funds available. Finca Tariqa will be one of the first Spanish projects on the platform.
