Established in 1984 our farm developed from a beekeeping activity that spanned the whole nation in order to obtain the finest Italian honeys. In the year 2000 the honey production was complemented by the goat farm and both sectors have since then been true to our beliefs, our honey and our new products such as milk, yogurt, kefir and cheese are in fact produced with the aim of respecting animal welfare, nature and the consumer.
Finally, the "agriturismo" (farmhouse holiday) is the crowning realization of our two passions: nature and people. We hope to offer all our guests the opportunity to relax in an atmosphere in which food, nature and hospitality are united in a perfect harmony.
