Cool Farms

What Cool Farms does

Cool Farms, operating through the legal entity COOL KIWI S.L. (NIF B44729143), is a privately held Spanish agricultural producer headquartered in Barqueira, Cerdido (A Coruña), Galicia, with 51–100 employees. The company cultivates and markets organic blueberries and three kiwi varieties (green, yellow, and red) across 420 hectares of own farms and 540 hectares of integrated partner farms, totaling 850 hectares, with processing facilities in Galicia, Aragon, and Northern Portugal. Its core technology is regenerative, vertically integrated agriculture spanning in-house genetic development of fruit varieties, planting, crop care, harvesting, processing in certified facilities, and refrigerated transport, with the stated goal of completing an entire mechanically harvested, carbon-neutral blueberry crop by 2025 and reaching Carbon Positive status in blueberries since Q2 2024.

The business model is B2B direct sales of fresh produce to retailers and food-service buyers, supplemented by a consumer-facing brand and traceability narrative; no intermediaries sit between farm and point of sale. Revenue derives from the sale of five core SKUs (organic blueberries, zero-residue green kiwi, organic green kiwi, yellow kiwi via the Dori and Jingold consortia, and red kiwi via the Red Passion consortium). The company holds BRC Food, IFS Food, Global GAP, Global GAP Spring, GRASP, and EU Organic certifications, and accesses EU and Galician grant programs (INNOVAPEME, INEGA photovoltaic, PAC 2023-2027) for innovation, energy, and export internationalization. No equity funding rounds, institutional investors, or parent entities are disclosed.

Growth is driven by stated production expansion — targeting 900 hectares of own farms and 900 hectares of integrated farms by 2030, plus 300 hectares of organic blueberry in northern Spain by 2026 — and by the launch of formal export activity via the Galicia Exporta Empresas 2025 program and the Fruit Attraction trade fair. Revenue is not disclosed, and customer logos are not named, limiting external visibility into commercial concentration and financial scale.
