Bali Raspberry Farms

BTF is a Bali based agricultural and forestry management company. BTF’s initial activity was the planting and management, on its own account and for third parties, of sustainable bio-dynamic tree farms Bali. BTF proceeded to combine cacao, coffee and vanilla under the growing teak canopies.

BTF moved to tropical viticulture, developing high-grade wine quality vineyards in North Bali, and Cantine Balita, a modern state of the art boutique winery in North Bali, which produces the Isola brand wine.

Since 2014 the main focus of BTF has been the introduction of berries farming in Bali's tropical climate. BTF today is the only commercial producer of raspberries in Bali, with plans to expand production for exports markets such as Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taipei.

BTF is active as manager and joint venture partner for inspired landowners and sustainable projects throughout Bali and Indonesia.

BTF blends sustainable farming with the agri-tourism model, developing common farmhouses, with low carbon working and destination facilities. BTF promotes environmentally conscious tourist development of rural areas, interacting with the local communities.
