The Red Tractor Farm has been run by the same family since 1880. In 2008 the guest house was opened. THe guesthouse remains open throughout the year. The Red Tractor Farm provides 'inside' information on the island, hiking maps etc We are located 4 minute walk from the sea. The land contains an olive grove and a vineyard and is a 10 minute walk from the port where there are many restaurants and cafes. Red Tractor produces organic wine and olive oil and is also the seat of the Acorn Initiative of Marcie Mayer. A proffessional kitchen produces acorn flour, acorn cookies, acorn 'chew', acorn pasta etc Acorns are high in protein, potassium, magnesium, calcium & vitamin B6. Acorns were the staple food of Californian indigenous tribes and pre-Christian Greeks. Acorn flour can be used in place of wheat and corn flour and is higher in protein and fiber than both. Large parts of Kea are covered with acorn bearing Oak forests. Acorn caps - Hamada - are again being used in European tanneries. We export truck loads every February and March. Today acorns are eaten in Korea, Turkey & Morocco. Acorn cookies, bread, soups, muffins & more are really tasty!
