    Description

    Hello everyone we are a big family that lives in a beautiful place surrounded by nature in the Umbrian hills.
    Far from the big and small urban centers, we live a life a little further than the system.

    We are on an experimental farm with an interest in agricultural, cultural and spiritual research and teaching.
    We welcome all interested people.

    Part of the crops grown in the fields are turning into pasta and flour.
    We also have a small production of apple juice, grape juice, tomato sauce, jam and many other preserves.
    Herbal medicine, collections of medicinal plants, oils, tinctures, creams, ferments .....
