With his love for nature and his land, Chef Emre Şen aspires to leave the world a better place for his children and benefits from comprehensive research on biodynamic and permaculture methods at every inch of our hotel’s organic garden.
Emre Şen is able to maintain the organic farm land free from chemicals and pesticides, by increasing biodiversity through medicinal and aromatic herbs, while attracting useful bugs and in return suppress harmful ones.
At Casa Lavanda, we farm according to the lunar calendar. We collect and plant hundreds of non-genetically modified seeds from all around the world, using homemade organic compost from kitchen and office waste to increase plant immunity.
As Emre says ‘We nurture the land so it keeps nurturing us.’
