Certified Organic Lands and Distillery Location in the Albanian Countryside



This post is a little geographical lesson about where MI's growing and operations will take place.  Above is a map of where Albania is located in relation to other European countries.  The red A bookmark marks Tirana, Albania, and shows the country's geographical location.  To the west is Italy and to the north (going clockwise) is Montenegro, Kosovo in the northeast, Macedonia in the east, and Greece in the south.  All of these maps are courtesy of Google Maps and their satellite view function.

NOP Certified Organic Lands in the Albanian countryside

The picture above shows the 15,000 acre area where our herbs and plants are grown for our essential oil production.  We also offer wild grown varieties as well.  The organic farms surrounding this land will all be used in conjunction with our crop.  This is one of the areas in the Albanian countryside where we will operate, employ, and build our business to provide the U.S. market with the highest quality essential oils. 

Our distillery will be located where the red rectangle is on the map above.  Below is a closer look at the location in the small rectangle above.  From the capitol city it is about 20 minutes drive southeast on Rruga Elbasanit.  This literally means "Road to Elbasan" which is another large city in Elbansan county of central Albania. 


We will be posting the plans for our building and the new distillers we will buy for operations.  Petrit Skora, Emiland's father and operational manager in Albania, has met with an architect and will send the blueprints soon. 

Gjithe te mirat!
"All the best!"
