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.
