The farm is a flatland located in the open agricultural fields of the Bekaa valley. Trying to keep the maintenance of the land minimalistic, islands are created to include all the agricultural practices, leaving the rest to be natural prairies changing with the seasons. A large pond is also designed to collect rainwater for irrigation.The periphery of the site is treated with a 10 to 30 meter wide pine forest including groups of cedars, oaks and umbrella pines. The different areas are linked with a horse track that allows the rider to experience different atmospheres of the site.
