Food and Wine of the Farmer have long been synonymous with true quality and goodness. The value of this combination has unfortunately been lost since the tradition of cultivating and living off the land has left room only for profit.
Adjectives such as rustic, peasant have become just tricks to better sell products grown without particular attention, even with industrial techniques of intensive cultivation, or with the indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Fortunately, several growers, breeders and wine producers have resisted the temptation of easy money at all costs, preserving traditional cultivation and breeding systems, with organic methods and low environmental impact.
We can say that in recent years we have even witnessed a reversal of the trend and many farmers are leaving intensive and chemical cultivation for natural methods.
This production, good, is also taking advantage of new contributions: there are many farmers, who, discouraged by the economic crisis, leave the city and return to work the land, often with natural methods.
Our research, our goal is to find these good producers, to put them in contact with the associates and make them become suppliers of our Solidarity Purchasing Groups (GAS).
