Terre di Cocomo. Agricultural activity and our crops<\/h1>\n
\n

We love this land<\/strong>, which has become an inspiration for our life.<\/p>\n

We tend to this beautiful farm, made up of steep olive groves, terraced vineyards and woods, making sure to consider biodiversity<\/strong> and the landscape.<\/p>\n

Our Farm was conceived from the desire to combine hospitality and the production of good<\/strong>, wholesome and ethically-produced food<\/strong>. Our organic products are of the highest quality, grown with biodynamic methods and cycles in compliance with the rules of good agriculture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Good, wholesome and ethically-produced<\/h3>\n
\n

We comply with the three key points of the philosophy of SLOW FOOD<\/strong>, the world association of producers of the land to which we adhere with conviction and which we promote with our activities.<\/p>\n

We have two olive groves<\/strong>, one in Buggiano<\/strong> and one on the slopes of Montecatini Alto<\/strong>, for a total of about 1,500 trees. We have three main varieties of olive trees – Leccino, Frantoio and Moraiolo – from which we harvest the fruits for our Extra Virgin Olive Oil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The olive groves<\/h3>\n

February is the month when pruning, achieved by employing thinning cuts, is carried out. This can vary according to the years and the conditions of the plants. Before the summer, the olive grove is cleaned up and the grass is mowed.<\/p>\n

October is the month of harvest<\/strong>, a yearly ritual, a cheerful tradition and a party for everyone. Extra virgin olive oil is the most precious product that this land can offer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sorana Beans<\/h3>\n
\n

In Sorana<\/strong>, along the gravel bed of the Pescia river (from which the city takes its name), we own a plot of land where we grow these fantastic legumes and it is all done by hand. This tradition<\/strong> has been passed on, starting with our great-grandmother Erminda who lived in a chestnut smokehouse along the river and cultivated these beans for family consumption.<\/p>\n

Given the small size and the position of the plot of land where our beans are grown, all the phases from sowing to growing and harvesting of the beans are carried out by hand. Moreover, thanks to the particular microclimate of this area and to a careful working of the soil according to the biodynamic method with the cultivation of winter green manures for soil enrichment, we are able to extract all the potentiality of this particular bean in order to attain a high quality product.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
