Udabno Project

Adjara Group has invested in over 4.000 hectares of land in Kakheti, located in the eastern region of Georgia. The Udabno Project aims to develop the area into farmable land and, with the help of the local population, establish it as an agricultural hub and a sustainable tourism destination. Adjara Group aspires to cultivate a partnership with local farmers and assist in their ongoing growth and development. 

A 2,000-hectare almond orchard has been successfully established along with a berry farm and a small vineyard with various grape varieties endemic to Georgia. Future developments include a dairy livestock farm, the cultivation of various fruits and vegetables as well a new farm-to-table concept hotel with its own restaurant. Aside from the social capital developed through the project, Adjara Group is planning to use a significant percentage of locally grown products in the company’s establishments.

Farm to Table

Adjara Group’s establishments are based on the farm to table philosophy which guarantees high-quality ingredients and a variety of ever-changing seasonal produce. As a result, the company promotes the country’s sustainable approach and embraces the connection between farming and dining. Strong agricultural tradition and a substantial rural population are paramount to the economic development of the country. To reduce the gap on the Georgian market between the demand for fresh produce and the supply from local farmers, Adjara Group has partnered up with the Georgian Farmer’s Association. Together they have created a platform through which the company has direct access to best quality produce cultivated by local farmers. The main drive behind this initiative was to support the country’s agricultural sector while providing Georgian farmers with new opportunities and enhancing the gastronomic choices across all of the group’s restaurants. 

Space Farms

Adjara Group is developing the first urban vertical farming project in the region, initiated by Tusa Gharibashvili, a young and innovative entrepreneur. Located at Stamba hotel, the Space Farm grows baby greens, leafy greens as well as a variety of berries and miniature vegetables. Built across 200 square meters of surface with 7 levels of racks, the facility utilizes 75% less water, conserves energy and grows fresh and organic produce handpicked for Adjara Group’s restaurants.  The company recognizes the importance of food security and environmental sustainability which is the main drive behind developing and supporting such an ambitious initiative.
