At Marin Farms, we are dedicated to the production, sale, planting, and comprehensive management of agave and olive crops, with a technical focus and attention to the details that make the difference.
Our experience stems from years of agricultural work in Mexico, where we professionally cultivated agave, and from our experience in the United States collaborating on large farms, supporting the management of olive and almond orchards, and horticultural crops like chili.
We have extensive knowledge of soil management practices, plant nutrition, and phytosanitary strategies tailored to each crop.

How do you care for your agave?
Propagation and initial growth
We collect offspring from mother plants with quality genetics.
Young plants remain in development beds for about a year, with controlled nutrition and intensive care.
They are fertilized according to the phenological stage with balanced products such as triple 20, amino acids, calcium and vitamins.
Transplantation and establishment
Transplanting seedlings to permanent growth beds.
First month of watering without fertilizers, promoting rooting.
Nutrition and seasonal management
From the second month onwards, weekly fertilization with adapted doses of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
In winter, prune damaged leaves and apply preventative fungicides.
Phytosanitary control
Agave is virtually pest-free in our region due to the low temperatures.
The main risk is fungus, especially during periods of prolonged humidity. Therefore, we apply preventative treatments during the change of season (September and early winter) and after pruning.
Ripening and harvesting
If the destination is mezcal or tequila, final applications of potassium and molasses can be made to increase sweetness.
The complete maturity cycle is 6 to 8 years.
How do you care for your olive trees?
Preparation and planting
The soil is prepared with deep irrigation beforehand and the specimens are planted with careful soil compaction.
Nutrition and phytosanitary management
21-30 days after planting, we apply low doses of phosphorus fertilizer.
During spring, fertilize with nitrogen according to the stage of development.
Scheduled watering twice a week.
Pests and diseases
Olive tree pests are few and easy to control through basic prevention practices and specific applications when necessary.
The main risk, as with agave, is excessive humidity, which favors fungi, so irrigation balance is important and mechanical damage to the plants is avoided.
