“Agriculture is the art of those who are able to wait”
The farm was born due to the passion of Giacomo Neri, a young farmer who combines the ancient knowledge of traditions with the right dose of innovation, thus giving life to organic crops with full respect to nature and environment.
Valcannetta is a perfect combination of traditions and innovations; the magical place where ancient knowledge, passion and respect for nature come together to give life to organic products “0 km”, certified and of high quality whose authentic and genuine taste is able to bring to our tables the “just like in the old days” flavor.
OUR PHILOSOPHY:
Choosing to cultivate organic products means not using chemicals, i.e. producing a little less to give the land a rest at the normal pace of the seasons. It consists of the choice of work and lifestyle especially. Weeding is manual, so the risk of crop loss is higher, but in this case the land remains unpolluted.
Biological way is more than just a simple method to cultivate and grow: it is a way of life that respects man and nature. ... Thus, biological products are richer in terms of nutrition. They also have more flavor, and the food becomes a privileged moment of flavors discovery and nutritional properties.
Our company is the third generation that grows olive trees, it has 5,800 trees, of which the century-old plants belong to us.
