Cultivating Differences
Made and R.O.V Nasca nel 1990 as organic farm in connection with their environment for agriculture of human relationships. In 1991, during the course EEC for the formation of new agrotourism enterprises, develop a first draft of the company, primitive but with a European that is enriched with four mares, bardigiane three and a native of Ventasso.
In 1992 begin to be clearer assets and agricultural vocations, in 1993 to build the stable andquini rationalizing the breeding, in 1994 we obtain the necessary approvals from the “Italian Association for Organic Agriculture”, and a place in the organic market on Saturday morning. We sell cereals, flour and fruit and vegetables in small quantities but direct distribution, ensuring human quality to the exchange. Also in 1994 get license to use the sauna to sweat Poiano. In 1995 we ospitallità rural metato of Gottasara (downstream of the bucket).
In the meantime, the family grows, become four in 1996, therefore, serves as a home and income. So with a MAG financing a fund EEC, start the tourism activities.
Today se are convinced that the resource environment is inseparable from agriculture. We want to produce: fertility, time keto and environmental protection as a tool for the future.
We share the said “if the children have fathers projects destinies”.
In these times playing approval to disaster and racial, we feel the need to cultivate the differences. We are currently developing an educational course on alternative energy (sunlight, wind power and biomass) and one on the cultivation and processing of hemp (green building, letter, textile and medicinal). On the latter point pedaling uphill from 1998.
In 2000 let AIAB (Italian Association for Organic Agriculture), we share the goals but not the means.
From 2001 is developed in collaboration with: C.R.A (Council for Research and Experimentation in Agriculture) section of Rovigo, l’I.S.C.I. (Experimental Institute for Industrial Crops) and the Association of Cannabis Info, a project to select varieties of hemp known as ‘Codimono '. This variety is suitable for medical purposes and food, and in “salsa” national means: low content of THC (psychoactive cannabinoid carnivore and FORBIDDEN… ), but high CBD content and certain (non-psychoactive cannabinoid then legal), proved useful in the treatment of certain neurological disorders such as insomnia, asthma and in the care of patients chemioterapizzati.
In 2002 become a petting zoo and with funding in May we set up three educational paths:
- energie alternative (for self-consumption)
- horse Bardigiano
- Hemp
Catering and hospitality remain our core business. We continue to produce fodder, potatoes (also blue), onions and hemp, all in such a way “autobiologico” not O.G.M.
Nthe 2004 the family grows and we become five, in short, we continue to “cycling” between too many “nani” and many dancers!!
In 2005 through the Association Info Cannabis present to the Province of Reggio Emilia, a project called: “Exploitation of Cannabis Sativa L. Reggiano Apennines” funded by the Province itself with the astronomical figure of 350 Euro.
Nevertheless, we continue to resist!
