In 2007, home distribution baskets were developed in neighboring municipalities with products produced in the orchard. Now they have more outlets: In the Durango market on Saturdays, for example, in the Marisatsa consumption association of Durango and in the restaurant Amillena de Arrazola. So they decided to live from the farmhouse.
Biezko is a very diversified farm. Besides orchard, they have fruit trees, chickens, chickens, bees, small fruits, medicinal plants, edible forest and rural tourism, among others. “We opened the cottage 6-7 years ago. We try to offer a quiet and comfortable place to bring together large groups or families.”
They often use animal traction. Although they do not give up the tractor, they work the garden with donkeys. In addition, they transform and distil the cultivated medicinal plants to make shampoos, soaps, creams, etc.
