Who we are

About the farm

We have been farming as a family business in Angera, at the foot of the San Quirico hill, since 2001. In our small on-farm dairy we turn the milk of our own cows, goats and sheep into fresh and aged cheeses, mozzarella, ricotta and yoghurt, and we also offer acacia and wildflower honey, fruit, jams, cured meats and ice cream made from our own milk and fruit (Agri-Gelato). You can buy our products in our farm shop from Thursday to Sunday; our agriturismo restaurant, our educational farm (since 2007), the farm animals and the picnic area also await you.

Who are you?

As a producer, use the email address on your farm profile.

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.

Is this your farm?

If this is your farm, you can take over the profile: click the button and enter your e-mail address. If it matches the address stored for the farm or the website's domain, you receive an edit link at once; otherwise we verify you with an SMS code sent to the farm's known phone number, or with a short manual check. The link is valid for 30 days; your changes appear immediately marked "under review" and become final after approval.
