Harvesting Memories at the Akouris Fruit Farm in the Peloponnese
Visiting a family-run farm offers a unique glimpse into the heart of rural life and local traditions. At the end of October, I had the chance to explore the Akouris Fruit Farm in the village of Steno, Arkadias, nestled in the Peloponnese region of Greece. This visit was more than just a tour; it was an immersion into the rhythms of apple harvesting, the warmth of family hospitality, and the beginnings of a small-scale winemaking venture.
