The aim is to practise organic farming, creating a microcosm that is sustainable both ecologically and economically and socially. From the very beginning, in fact, local and ancient varieties are cultivated, excluding the use of fertilisers, chemical and synthetic pesticides, toscanello bean and zolfino bean, and cereals such as Verna, Gentil Rosso, Frassineto and Cappelli durum wheat, are naturally adapted to the local soil and climate, Furthermore, it allows the farm to adopt a three-year rotation system and prevent over-exploitation of the land, thus ensuring respect for the balance of the land
