About Us
Mas Bes is a story of family, hard work, and a love for farming. A love for the rural world that we have passed down from generation to generation. Expanding and renovating new spaces to bring farming closer to everyone.
Dairy Tradition
The history of the Viñolas family at Mas Bes dates back to the second half of the 19th century, when grandfather Narcís settled on the farm and began cattle farming with two Friesian-Holstein cows.

Mas Bes Social Responsibility
Energy Sustainability
At Mas Bes farm, we are committed to alternative energy sources to reduce environmental pollution. We use sunlight and cow manure for the production of 100% renewable, sustainable energy for self-consumption. We have also recently purchased an electric car that we can charge at our own electric charging point, which our visitors can also use.
Biogas Plant
Thanks to cow manure, we can use methane gas for electricity production. In this way, we produce a total of 250 Kw/h, which would be equivalent to the energy consumption of 100 single-family homes, and the compost coming out of the biogas plant is ideal for fields, orchards, and gardens.
Solar Panels
We have also installed 300 solar panels, taking advantage of the stable roof that receives sunlight for more hours. With these, we produce 100 Kw/h, used entirely for self-consumption.
Animal Welfare
We want to be respectful of animals and ensure they have the utmost comfort and care possible. That is why all the farms that produce for ATO Natura were pioneers in obtaining the animal welfare certificate “Walfare Quality Aenor”.
We have adapted all facilities to achieve this certification: well-fed, fully hydrated, comfortable, adequate temperature, sufficient space, no physical injuries, absence of diseases, healthy treatment, healthy social behavior, natural behavior, respectful handling, and no fear, anxiety, or frustration. Although the previous certification does not require it, we also have fans, automated showers, brushes, and ambient music for the production cows.
- We collaborate with the Food Bank.
- We make donations to the Red Cross and Caritas.
- We support Onyar Solidari.
