The Soul of La Fageda

In 1982, psychologist Cristóbal Colón envisioned a seemingly "crazy" idea: to build a company designed not for profit, but to provide dignity and meaningful employment for individuals with mental illness. Guided by the firm belief that work is the best therapy, this initial concept has blossomed into one of Catalonia's most cherished and unique local producers. Today, La Fageda stands as a testament to authentic Catalan traditions, seamlessly blending exceptional gastronomy with profound social responsibility. The heartbeat of the farm is still driven by Cristóbal's original philosophy: "We don't work to make yogurts; we make yogurts to give work." By visiting, you are not just tasting iconic local flavors; you are experiencing a vibrant community built on respect, nature, and the unwavering belief that everyone holds value.

What our guests say

Surprisingly, a fantastic plan to do with the kids. We went in August and it was lovely, without the horrible heat of the city. The visit is entertaining, and the kids get to see cows and enjoy a fantastic tasting. We definitely recommend it 100%. Thank you very much.

Everything was great; it’s amazing and great for learning as it has an incredible history. In the tasting, there was a variety; they gave us ice creams, yogurts, and jams to try, and since I am lactose intolerant, they gave me lactose-free options. We were able to feed the calves and see how the cows are milked. Highly recommended, we will return soon.

A place to visit, and even better with the little ones. The work they do on every level is fantastic. The human value is present in all the work from start to finish. And on top of that, everything is truly high quality.
