Cinque Terre,
the realm of heroic agriculture
Our farm is located in Prevo, a tiny hamlet of Vernazza right in the center of Cinque Terre National Park, along the Blue Path (Sentiero Azzurro), 1,5 km away from Corniglia and 1,3 km from Vernazza. It is the highest and most impressive spot at 208 meters above sea level.
These lands, until our arrival over 15 years ago, had been completely
abandoned. A unique natural heritage, collapsed terraces left to decay,
ancient cultivars gone wild: a wealth that we wanted to revive.
We cultivate the countryside using a non-confrontational and a collaborative approach, staying true to our values.
Our vision is to leave a sustainable world for future generations.
The
Cinque Terre face unprecedented challenges: dwindling natural
resources, declining economies, a rapidly changing climate and other
threats require that all of us begin to work together to reach common
solutions.More than ever before, we must find innovative ways to ensure that the Cinque Terre National Park can continue to live.
This
is a time of opportunity. A time to move conservation from the
sidelines of global priorities to the center of the world stage because
the future of these lands depends on a safe, diverse and protected
environment.
