    Description

    Welcome to Sicily! We are a network of family farms and regenerative projects in mainly on the west coast of the island with the main site as a 6 hectare land with an established olive orchard, wine vineyard. We are starting to plant a 3 hectare syntropic agroforestry system in the comune of Castellammare del Golfo and need your help.

    We are growing moringa, avocados and other tropical fruits like mangos and more temperate types like almonds and hazelnuts to pioneer a mixed Mediterranean consortium of preferred plants

    We are just minutes from the beautiful coast and the popular tourist destination of Scopello. There are many places to explore around the area like the Segesta hot springs, and Palermo city is just an hour away.
