In BOND, the symbolic adoption evolves from initial connection into sustained relationship. This isn’t merely about receiving updates — it’s about experiencing Kritsa through multiple senses, through things you can touch and hold, through voices you come to recognize and moments you come to anticipate.
Perfect For:
This package is for those who don’t just want to know about their adopted tree, but to feel its presence in their daily lives. It’s for those who believe relationships are built through sustained attention and meaningful gestures. For those seeking tangible reminders of their connection — not consumer products, but authentic expressions of a shared story.
What’s Included in BOND
Your BOND adoption connects you to a specific olive tree in Kritsa’s ancient groves, and you receive both digital and printed adoption certificates to mark this connection. The digital certificate arrives immediately, while the printed version comes on premium paper with beautiful design, creating something you can frame, display, or simply hold when you want to feel closer to your adopted tree. Your chosen name for the tree appears on both certificates, establishing an identity that connects this living monument to your personal story.
The tree also receives a physical marker in the grove itself. A wooden plaque, discreetly placed and carved with your chosen name, identifies your adopted tree among the others. This plaque weathers naturally with the Mediterranean seasons, becoming part of the tree’s story. The farmer sees it during pruning, locals notice it when they pass through the grove, and when you eventually visit Kritsa, you’ll find this tangible proof that your connection extends beyond the digital realm.
Your tree gains its own dedicated web page, a living digital space that evolves throughout the year. This page hosts a growing collection of seasonal photographs, tracks the tree’s location with GPS coordinates, shares the history of this particular tree and the grove it stands in, and introduces you to the farmer whose family tends it. Unlike a static profile, this page becomes a chronicle of your tree’s year, a place you can visit whenever you want to check in on your connection to Kritsa.
Four times each year—marking the transitions between spring bloom, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter rest—you receive detailed photo updates that follow the complete agricultural cycle. You begin to understand the patience required for each stage, the quiet work that happens between the spectacular moments of flowering and harvest, and the subtle signs that farmers read to know when each phase is beginning.
Throughout the year, postcards arrive at your address, five carefully selected cards that bridge the physical distance with tangible touches. Some postcards showcase Kritsa in different seasons and lights, capturing the changing face of the village and its surrounding landscape. Others share traditional Cretan recipes handwritten in the old style, offering you a way to taste the culture even from afar. The postcards arrive unexpectedly, transforming your mailbox into a source of pleasant surprises and regular reminders that Kritsa remembers you.
At the start of your adoption, you receive a handwritten letter from the farmer who tends your tree. Written in his own words, on paper, this letter introduces the person behind the agricultural work. He tells you about his connection to the land, his family’s history with these groves, and what it means to him personally that you’ve chosen to create this symbolic connection with his work. The letter’s handwriting, its informal tone, and its personal nature make it clear this isn’t corporate communication but one human reaching out to another across the distance.
Regular email updates arrive more frequently than in the ROOT package, keeping you connected to both your specific tree and the broader life of the village. The community newsletter continues to share stories from the Kritsa Roots family, while WhatsApp provides immediate updates when something remarkable happens. The annual tree report arrives at year’s end, documenting the full cycle of seasons in narrative form.
When you visit Kritsa, the complimentary one-hour walking tour introduces you to the village, but the BOND package extends this experience significantly. You don’t just see your adopted tree—you meet the farmer who cares for it. You sit together, perhaps over coffee in the village square or a simple meal in his family’s home. The conversation moves beyond agricultural updates into the stories that don’t fit in emails, the family histories intertwined with these groves, and the daily realities of life in a Cretan mountain village. You become real to each other, transforming names on screens into faces, voices, and shared moments.
What Makes BOND Different
BOND creates relationship through sustained attention and physical touchpoints. The postcards that arrive throughout the year, the handwritten letter that introduces you to your farmer, the wooden plaque that marks your tree in the actual grove—these aren’t marketing materials but authentic gestures of connection. The BOND package recognizes that relationships need both consistency and substance, digital threads and tangible ties.
Price: €170 / year
Your symbolic adoption runs for one year and can be renewed annually. Each renewal deepens the relationship, adding another year to the shared story you’re building with Kritsa.
