We are proud of our products
Quality is our goalOur brands and products
Agrícola JJF grows and markets its own fruit and vegetable products from the very heart of La Mancha, Llanos de Caudillo (Ciudad Real). Its main line of production is based on two seasonal products: melon and watermelon, which are marketed under our own brand: JJF Gran Selección.
In both cases, our production is limited to a series of varieties of each type, which we consider to be the best for these climatological and biological conditions of the land, as well as providing a higher quality to the final product.
We also grow and market pumpkins under the Pluto variety. This product is marketed under the brand name: JJF Gran Selección.
