Stay where your
food grows.
A working farm on the Caspian plain that opens its doors. Sleep above the rice, eat from the orchard, and keep time by the season instead of the clock.

§An agriturismo, the Mazandarani way
In Italy an agriturismo must be a working farm first and a guesthouse second. We keep the same rule. The tractors run, the rice is real, and the table serves what the land gives that week.
01
The farm comes first.
You are a guest of a working farm, not a resort dressed as one. Harvest dates decide the calendar, and you are welcome in the field.
02
The table is the map.
Every dish at Sofreh is printed with the distance it travelled and the lot it came from. Almost nothing travels more than thirty kilometres.
03
Time is kept by seasons.
The year begins at Nowruz. Each month has its own harvest, craft and reason to come back.
01The Royesh year
Turn the year. Choose your harvest.
Drag the wheel or tap a month. The green line traces the rice from seedbed to sack, and the orange line traces the daylight.

02Stays
Restored houses, raised above the rice.
The Mazandarani house is built for rain and harvest: timber stilts, deep verandas and clay-tile roofs. We restored eight of them, and each one looks onto the work of the farm.
03Sofreh · سفره · the farm table
The menu prints its own map.
Sofreh is the cloth a Persian meal is laid on. Ours is laid under the orange trees. Every ingredient is listed with how far it came and the production lot it was taken from, the same lots that ship to hospitals and schools.
04Experiences
Work the land for a morning.
Each experience follows the farm calendar and is led by the people who do the work every day. Groups are small. Mud is likely.
05Adopt a tree · proposed venture
One orange tree in Sari is yours.
Become the patron of one tree in the Narenjestan orchard. We tend it, and you receive its harvest every Azar: delivered, or picked with your own hands.
