Meet the Farmers
El Berima was built by hand, by heart, and by a shared belief that the land has something important to teach us.
Slim grew up watching his grandfather tend the land and never forgot the feeling. After years working in the city, he returned to his roots β literally β and founded El Berima with a clear vision: reconnect Tunisians with their agricultural heritage and show a new generation that farming is something to be proud of.
He leads every workshop with patience, humour, and a depth of knowledge that only comes from years of working the soil. Ask him about permaculture, heirloom Tunisian seeds, companion planting, or the best time to plant tomatoes β he will talk for hours and you will not want him to stop.
Amira is the heartbeat of everything educational at El Berima. With a background in child development and a lifelong passion for environmental education, she designs the workshop programs, welcomes school groups, and makes sure every visitor β young or old β leaves with something new.
She believes that the best learning happens with your hands in the soil and a smile on your face. Watch her run a Tataki-Zome workshop with forty children and you will understand exactly what she means.
