We are in the Alpujarra of Granada in Spain and are planting raspberries, blueberries and strawberries this year in our newly established finca/alojamiento rural. We have a quote from http://fragaira.blogspot.com.es/ for ecological certified starts. A few years back we looked into gojis a few years ago we talked to a local farmer selling at a organic farmer's market who was able to fill our needs with advance order. There might be an already established farm in your area that could use the extra income to do the same for you. We do have some resources further up north in Europe (Netherlands) but trying to stick with as local as possible to keep the economy here chugging along.

Hi Art,

We would love to talk to you more about what you are looking for and how/if what we are currently creating might be a good match. We are an expat family living in the Alpujarra of Granada. We also have a 12yo (daughter) living with us in addition to a couple 20 something adult daughters who live elsewhere in the world at this time. My husband and daughter are bi-lingual English/Spanish and I get by with my own poor Spanish. (my talents lie elsewhere!). We have an odd mix of passports among us. We have the alojamiento up and running as a new model sustainable tourism facility and are now turning the focus of our work towards getting the finca portion operational. Our big picture plans include hosting educational workshops and apprentice placements. There is a link to our website in my profile. You can contact me here or through email or the site.

We would love to talk more if you are interested!
