  Description

  Hello!
  We are a cultural association promoting a social farming project and sustainable tourism project. We are young and open minded farmers and we started our project collecting neglected lands in the country side of our small medieval old town just 30 minutes far from Rome downtown. Now we have a main field in which we cultivate a vegetable garden with different organic techniques, we have 70 olive trees and an hen house with chickens and gooses, two cats and a dog, We have a couple of goats to begin a raw cheese traditional production, we have there a small direct sales point. We product sweet jams and salty creams from the vegetables and fruits we pick up in our field and in other lands in the sorroundings. On Sundays we participate to the town Farmer Market that brings together producer and critical consumers who choose Km0 food, on Saturdays we participate to various organic market in Rome. Monthly we organize events to promote our activity and an other way to re-think the link with nature, production and food. Every week we manage cooking class events in our green hostel, so we can meet there an amazing international community of travellers and globetrotter.
  
  COVID 19 : All our cultural activities are for the moment suspend (cooking class, open days, tourist welcoming...)
