  Description

  We are an italian family that lives in a small, beautiful plot of land between Altamura (Puglia) and Matera (Basilicata). We harvest fruit and vegetables for self-sufficiency, we don't sell. We are located in Alta Murgia, a UNESCO Geopark full of unique flora and fauna. We tend an olive grove, some fruit trees, and grow veggies. We would love to start restoring this little piece of land in a regenerative way, and get some animals again (we used to have some). Near our house there is a tiny forest, nested between two hills, and a XII century old fountain that waits to be restored.
  We are Michele, Mimmo and Irene (Michele's parents). We also have three cute dogs (Max, Bianca and Frida) who roam around and will guide you on a nice walk around the hills.
