Who we are
About the farm
Between Monghidoro and Loiano, in the hills of the Bolognese Apennines, we grow the local 'Marrone Biondo' chestnut in our family chestnut grove; Luigi cleared and restored our centuries-old trees, and we are members of the Consorzio dei Castanicoltori dell'Appennino Bolognese. We start harvesting in early October; what remains of the crop we dry in a traditional drying house and have milled into chestnut flour. From the first Sunday of October we sell directly in the chestnut grove, and we also attend fairs, sagre and km-0 farmers' markets. We use no chemical treatments in the grove.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
