Nature
The earth is giving us the best answer
possible and the animal world begins to revive our company.
Nature.
Nature is a cornerstone of our project.
Enriching the area is a fundamental step, and for this reason we are planting Mediterranean scrub, flowering plants, olive trees, and fruit trees. To support reforestation, we have integrated eight bee colonies, which have already been producing honey for a year: wildflower and eucalyptus. We are also working on creating walking paths and rest areas that allow visitors to enjoy the nature and the facilities of the Cultural Park, which is currently taking shape.
In 2019, we adopted two Asinara horses, Mirto and Vega, which we let free to graze on the land during the day and bring back to the stable in the evening. Our efforts to reforest the area, a barren countryside in the Sardinian Campidano region, are starting to bear fruit: the land is responding to us in the best possible way, and the animal world is starting to liven up our farm. Wild hares and cattle egrets, hoopoes, and falcons can be observed.
The goal is not only to use the products grown in our land for the menus of the farm, but also to use wild herbs and fruits as much as possible.
We use the olives of the Semidana and the Nera di Gonnos to prepare the brine, the olive olives to flavor the dishes and we hope to be able to produce our oil too soon.
For several years we have been harvesting our pearls, plums, lemons, figs, prickly pears and myrtle, which we also use to prepare jams, fruit juices and liqueurs. We have also planted orange, mandarin, apple and medlar plants.
The search for spontaneous species has led us to the discovery of many known edible plants and fruits, such as mushrooms, beets or asparagus, but also of many used in the past and forgotten, which are also rich in properties, extremely tasty: among these the purslane, mallow, the navel of venus, hypericum.
We collect and transform some herbs, both spontaneous and not, also for the creation of herbal teas and oils for skin care.
