Azienda Agricola La Felce e il Mirtillo

In May 2022, we brought to life Azienda Agricola La Felce e il Mirtillo, combining our skills in agronomy with our love for the environment. We are Federico, an agronomist specialized in plant pathology with many years of experience in managing and implementing development projects, and Maria Vittoria, a tropical agronomist specialized in environmental systems analysis, with experience in development cooperation and currently involved in studying herbal sciences and health. Together, we have created a dynamic entity that stands out for our collaboration with neighboring businesses.

Starting from a dream that many considered impossible, we transformed our vision into reality. Leaving behind challenging work environments, we decided to create our family and regenerate a place rich in history and resilience. Through constant commitment, we have restored ancient olive groves, fields, and hydraulic-agricultural works, enhancing local biodiversity and embracing permaculture and agroforestry systems.

The philosophical approach of permaculture has guided us in planning our land, teaching us the importance of observation and the symbiosis between natural elements. Through this vision, we have achieved numerous milestones that give us the strength to keep going. From the restoration of ancient dry stone walls to enhancing local biodiversity, every step we have taken reflects our commitment and dedication to sustainable agriculture and harmony with the environment.

This world packers experience was truly amazing. The hosts Maria and Fede and their daughters were soo welcoming and friendly they made me feel like I was apart of the family. The work we were involved in was mainly cutting weeds and maintaining the plants. This was a dream come true and I can’t wait to come back another time. grazie fede and Maria

I can't help but wish I could keep this gem all to myself! The breathtaking view of the landscape resembled the swells of the ocean. Our hosts, Fredi and Maria, are incredibly warm and welcoming—truly some of the nicest people I've ever met. Even though our stay was just 10 days, they feel like family! The work was straightforward and enjoyable, mostly involving cutting weeds and pruning plants. For anyone reading this, I encourage you to stop searching for other options—this is the perfect experience! It's filled with warmth, beauty, and a sense of community that you won’t want to miss.

I had such a wonderful experience with Mari, Fede and Flora! They are amazing people and I felt very confortable and safe around then. They have such a big heart, a great sense of humor and we shared so many quality moments together. I’m really glad to have stayed there and was sad to go. The work is very nice! We worked at the fields collecting the flowers and in the lab, helping prepare the oils, teas, drying plants, filling bottles. I really enjoyed and highly recommended! The place is beautiful and they share amazing food with us! Thank you guys so much ❤️
