Who we are
About the farm
Since 2003 we have been bringing abandoned land back into cultivation in Castel del Giudice, in the mountains of Alto Molise; our farm was founded by the municipality and some fifty local residents. Today we grow organic apples on 30 hectares – including the local Limoncella, Zitella and Gelata varieties – plus 6 hectares of malting barley and 3 hectares of wheat. From mid-September to the end of November we sell freshly picked apples at the farm and at regional markets; part of our apples is processed for us into additive-free juice and jam. We also host organised visits for farmers, consumers and students.

Write a review
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.
