L AGRUME A PLUMES SL

What L AGRUME A PLUMES SL does

L'Agrume à Plumes SL is a Spain-domiciled organic produce distributor founded in 2018 that sources certified biological fruits directly from a named network of Andalusian farmers and delivers them to end consumers through a CSA-style monthly pre-order model with community pickup points. The company operates from Lanjarón (Granada) in Spain and runs a separate French administrative and distribution presence in Nantes, serving consumer bases in both countries. Its catalog comprises 27 distinct SKUs spanning fresh citrus (oranges, lemons, clementines, grapefruits), specialty tropicals (avocados, mangoes, dragon fruit, passion fruit, cherimoyas, finger limes), dried fruits and aromatics (figs, mangoes, tomatoes, oregano flowers), nuts (almonds, pistachios, pecans), and olive oil and flavored olives, drawn from approximately ten production sites across the Granada and Malaga provinces.

Underlying operations are deliberately low-tech: the company runs no proprietary technology platform, and the customer experience is mediated through community-led monthly ordering rather than a transactional e-commerce stack. The business model earns a margin between farm-gate prices and consumer prices, with prices fixed year-round and set by the producing farmers; product availability follows seasonal Andalusian production roughly from September through June. Volume is built through distributed community pickup groups rather than enterprise contracts.

Since June 2022 the company has been a member of the ALYOLOCO cooperative, which pools it with other small organic distributors and grants access to shared logistics and a broader producer network that has expanded to four founding plus four additional member operations. The team is small (~4-5 core members) and registered capital is €3,000, consistent with a founder-led, community-anchored operating model rather than a venture-scale enterprise.
