Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

In Instantes we have an essential commitment to the Environment and its environment. We also fulfill the social obligations towards our workers, who are the most precious treasure of our company.

Irrigation

We irrigate with surface water, channeled from the neighboring mountains. We use efficient and low-consumption irrigation systems, with the fundamental objective of not underestimating a good as valuable as the water we consume.

Certificates

We have the GLOBALG.A.P. and GRASP certificates, for the set of good agricultural practices, which we believe are essential and necessary today.

Ecological

We use exclusively organic products, that is, totally biological products that do not pollute either the plant or the environment.

Since we are within the Natural Park, we have the obligation to be even more careful with the entire environment that surrounds us and deeply respectful of its flora and fauna.

Our climate is ideal and very mild, this being very beneficial for a better ripening of the blueberry. There is no extreme heat in summer, due to our proximity to the coast.

All this means that we can produce a product as rich and beneficial for our health as it is… The blueberry!

Our blueberries are 100% Organic!
