Hi, we are Younes and Rachida Tazi, and together with a dedicated team we run Terra Citrus, an organic citrus farm in Morocco, not far from the historic city of Fez. For Nature & More, we focus on growing organic limes and the highly distinctive citrus caviar, both celebrated for their freshness, aroma and refined flavour.

A farm shaped by history and soil

Our family farm was established in 1950, when Younes’ great-grandfather acquired land along the Sebou river. Decades later, in 1986, Younes’ father planted citrus trees on what is now 82 hectares of fertile land. When we took responsibility for the farm, we began the transition to certified organic production in 2015. The soil here is exceptionally rich in nutrients — a legacy of centuries of agricultural use — and we see it as our responsibility to protect this land for future generations.

Choosing organic citrus

The decision to go organic came naturally. Soil analyses showed that the land was already extremely fertile and that artificial fertilisers were doing more harm than good. By switching to organic methods and working with natural pest control, we were able to support healthy trees without overloading the soil. Clean water from the Sebou river, a favourable citrus climate and expert guidance allowed for a smooth conversion to organic farming.

Limes and citrus caviar

Our organic limes are valued for their freshness and aromatic intensity. Citrus caviar, also known as finger lime, is a truly special fruit. Inside each finger-shaped fruit are small pearl-like vesicles that burst in the mouth with a bright, lime-like flavour. Originally from Australia, citrus caviar has found a perfect home in our orchards and is especially appreciated in both professional kitchens and creative home cooking.

Farming with care for nature and people

At Terra Citrus, organic farming means feeding the soil rather than the plant directly. We produce our own compost using tree clippings and locally sourced manure, improving soil structure, water retention and biodiversity. Natural hedgerows and surrounding vegetation attract birds, bees and beneficial insects, creating a balanced ecosystem around our orchards.
