Description
WHO WE ARE: (no business Host)
We are a farm located in the heart of Sicily in a beautiful regional park called Madonie,
where we starting a new Eco-Friendly Bio and Green project, among uncontaminated nature and birdsongs is possible to admire and enjoy the scenic beauty of the area.
Our farm is part of a concept that combines climate change and food consumption. It is a movement that encourages people to rethink their food choices in order to reduce carbon footprint and help mitigate the effects of climate change. The idea behind it is that by changing what we eat and how we eat it, we can reduce the amount of greenhouse gases produced by agriculture, transportation and food waste. It encourages people to consume locally sourced, seasonal foods, as well as reduce meat consumption and choose plant-based options. It also emphasizes the importance of reducing food waste by buying only what we need and using all parts of the food we have.
LOCATION:
We are 10 minutes away from Caltavuturo in the Palermo province a town of about 4000 souls, located between see and mountains in the Northern’s Imera valley river, about 60 km east of Palermo and 25km sud from the see.
