About this tour
When Jake from our BugBitten team visited Verdeaurora Bio Farm, we found a genuine family-run organic operation tucked into Fuerteventura's protected countryside. The 90-minute experience walks you through aloe vera fields and olive groves, includes a hands-on aloe gel extraction lesson, and introduces you to rescued animals — Majorero donkeys among them. You'll taste local extras like cold-pressed oil and artisan goat cheese before heading home with your own aloe plant. It's the real rural Fuerteventura, not the tourist-ticked version.
Highlights
- Hands-on aloe vera gel extraction from fresh leaves
- Native Majorero donkeys and other rescued farm animals
- Hidden permaculture garden tucked beyond the main fields
- Cold-pressed olive oil tasting from their own groves
- Artisan goat cheese and Canarian wine pairings included
- Take-home aloe plant in a pot — actually useful
- Family farm feel; small enough to ask real questions
- Easy walking on clear farm paths, no scrambling needed
What to expect
You'll start with a proper tour of the certified organic fields — aloe vera rows stretch out, olive trees dot the landscape, and the guides explain what's growing and why. Then comes the aloe demo: you'll actually cut a leaf, watch the gel separate from the latex, and learn which bit does what (spoiler: most people get it wrong at home). The permaculture garden surprised Jake — it's deliberately tucked away and feels more experimental than the commercial rows.
After the walking bit, you'll gather for tastings. The olive oil is punchy, the goat cheese has real tang, and the Canarian wine is light enough for midday. The rescued animals (donkeys, others) are genuinely part of the operation, not a photo prop. The whole thing moves at a relaxed pace — no rushing — and finishes with your aloe plant wrapped up.

Good to know
This isn't a sanitised farm theatre. The family actually runs it; you'll see working animals and genuine crops. The aloe demo is genuinely useful — you'll know how to harvest and use it properly. If you're keen on organic farming, soil health, or just want to see how Fuerteventura's rural side actually ticks, it's worth the trip. Suits all ages and fitness levels; easy walking on farm paths, nothing steep or long.
You'll need your own transport to get there — public options exist nearby but aren't frequent. It's fairly rural, so no cafés or shops once you arrive. The tasting is standard portions, not a feast. Group sizes mean you're sharing the experience; peak times (weekends, high season) may feel busier. Let them know allergies or dietary needs ahead via email — they're good about it, but it needs notice. Bring sun cream, a hat, and closed shoes for farm walking. Everything's included except getting there.
