The Farmer's Lunch Experience

Experience Malta's Traditional Foods

Meet The Hosts

Charlie & Bella

In the year 2000, Charlie and Bella stood on a freshly purchased piece of barren and derelict land in the hills of Mġarr. Fast forward 20 years, with commitment and hard work they have transformed the abandoned land into a flourishing and vibrant olive grove that provides a tranquil oasis of green away from Malta's urban areas.

At the grove, Charlie can be found patrolling through his beloved trees rocking his signature look with a t-shirt wrapped around his head. Charlie will happily discuss with pride how he single-handedly forged every element of the grove. Meanwhile, Bella will look after you as if you were family, with a steady stream of Maltese food items and wine to savour while you enjoy the tranquil rural surroundings.
