Our vision for 2037
By 2037, Rovira Regenerativa is a thriving regenerative agroforestry landscape. In a semi-arid valley challenged by drought and ecological breakdown, we have implemented a holistic, resilient, working example of regeneration.
The vineyard and surrounding fincas form a productive, drought-resilient agroforestry system, full of olives, figs, almonds, berries, artichokes, herbs, and diverse support species.
A busy native plants nursery and living demonstration garden provide plants, seeds, and design inspiration for local farms and the wider bioregion.
The community obrador produces jams, oils, pickles, aromatics, and other conserves using local ingredients.
Natural wine and olive oil showcase low-impact, small-scale production rooted in ecological care.
Rovira Regenerativa hosts regular educational weekends, volunteer brigades, youth exchanges, and seasonal celebrations, creating a hub of learning and cooperation.
The project supports local livelihoods: farmers, coordinators, educators, makers, and neighbours working together.
Our 2026 Goals
Grow more with agroforestry
Invest in a hydrological design and begin implementing it
This allows us to introduce more species in and around the vineyard and expand food production
Keep making wine & harvesting olives!
Distribute all 2025 wine through crowdfunding gifting and exchange
Produce 500 bottles of 2026 wine
Harvest our olives and turn them to oil
More hands-on learning
Host 5 Regenerative Weekends when our doors are open for practical learning
Host 2 Youth Exchanges
Open our Native Plant Nursery
Purchase the desired nursery site in Caseres
Begin seeding and vegetable production
Demonstrate the value of drought-resilient native species
Spread the Word
Prepare and launch a communication plan
Promote each Regenerative Weekend
Share knowledge and seasonal updates
Coordinate the start of our crowdfunding effort
Underpinnings
CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN to fund the vineyard and nursery land purchases plus some salaries
Keep evolving the legal, financial, and organisational structures that keep the project grounded and debt-free
Our past
December 2019
Our project begins
2019-2022
We plant and teach
We host regular hands-on learning events around the Boodaville site to add food-bearing species, enhance water catchment and inspire.
August 2022
Whirlwind wine harvest
We ask our elderly neighbours if we can harvest the grapes in their 2-hectare vineyard that has been abandoned for 2 years. In 2 weeks, we make it happen. Hundreds of bottles of wine are made.
November 2023
Plant 1500 trees
The Life Terra project provided us with 1,500 tree seedlings—far more than the 500 we originally planned. Over five days, we planted 500 food-producing trees and 1,000 support species in the vineyard and along the protected ravine that borders it. Our agroforestry days begin.
2024
Become vineyard parents
We take full custody of the vineyard, prune it, apply manure from the healthiest horses in Spain who live down the road, add seeds as biofertilizer, experiment with different methods of chopping and dropping the fennel that naturally grows here… but no grape harvest as we’re in year 2 of a drought. We include others in the learning process on our Regenerative Weekends.
2025
Proud vineyard parents + winemakers
We do what we did in 2024, but better and simpler. It rains and rains and we harvest a lot of grapes. Regenerative Weekends and sharing hands-on learning continue. We update our agroforestry design of other food and support species to add next year. We make lots of wine!!
2026
More water, food, inspiration
Invest in a hydrological design to permit introducing more food-producing and support species, open our nursery, crowdfunding to make it all happen, and regular Regenerative Weekends and community interventions to keep sharing knowledge and inspiration.
