The land, hand in hand with humankindEven the wildest nature needs constant care
and a thought devoted entirely to her.
Agriculture shows us what is more and what is less essential.
It guides life with reason.
We must touch the earth.
Lev Tolstoj
Touch the earth,
to lend it a hand.
Some plants require a daily relationship with people—this is especially true in organic farming.
Weather extremes and disease are unexpected yet foreseeable events that, with constant care and an extra thought, can be rendered harmless to the fields and the magnificent life they nurture.
This land offers some of our organic products.
Veneto
as told by
What Italy is
A community born on Instagram that takes its audience on a journey through the wonders of Italy, where history, culture, and people are told through images, colors, and words.
Here, green and yellow reign supreme.
A land once used for tobacco cultivation has given way to beans, for which the human connection is essential, there can be no pause. Water is needed, as well as care for the soil and the plant. What’s needed most is presence.
With us, everyone knows beans
inside and out.
Helping nature,
but with respect.
The need for tailored care also influences the choice of who works in the fields and tends to the plants, an essential factor in bringing out their best.
Every stage of the process demands the utmost attention: from sowing, where GPS is even used to monitor the tractors’ path and the spacing between each plant, all the way to harvest.
The plant is so delicate that every tool used is specifically designed and built just for it.
We go see it with our own eyes, and it’s exactly as they say. Every machine, every tool used in the field is made to “handle” the plant with care.
“We’d risk ruining everything—we can’t afford that,” they tell us. And they add that farming this way, with such care, is essential to ultimately achieving a product of the highest quality.
The luck in (good) weather
“Our care needs to be accompanied by a bit of good luck,” they confide.
“Being such a delicate plant, it has many enemies, from sudden frosts to persistent winds, all the way to prolonged rains or, on the other end of the spectrum, drought. Because it needs water, but only in the right amount.”
Another constant element of organic farming: the mix of species.
Nature is exactly like that—it makes no distinctions. A well-tended field hosts both the cultivated crop and a multitude of wild plants and animals. It means everything is going the right way.
Weeds are
a sign of health.
Many are pulled by hand, just as many grow back quickly.
There are no hills to hide the sunset—an endless plain awaits it.
As we watch, we understand that every place, with its own crop, has its own uniqueness.
One element remains constant, no matter what: respect for the land and love for nature.
