Blog - reports from the forest

First of all, our intention is to offer you a carefree day during which you can relax and let go of negative thoughts to fully enjoy this experience...

Have you ever wondered why the mimosa is given on the occasion of the Women's Day that falls every year on March 8th?

A metà Marzo ho partecipato ad un viaggio-studio organizzato da "donne impresa" della Coldiretti per conoscere altre realtà agricole femminili e per visitare aziende che hanno cercato di innovare la propria attività per sopravvivere a questa crisi che sembra non finire mai.
Con noi c'erano anche Delia Revelli la Presidente della federazione regionale e Silvia Viazzi responsabile di donne impresa Cuneo e l'efficientissima "guida" Laura Occelli, coordinatrice provinciale.
E' stato un viaggio davvero molto piacevole, io amo viaggiare e spesso lo faccio anche da sola, ma per una volta trovarsi tutto bello organizzato devo dire che è stato rilassante.

The seeds that we use in our synergic vegetable garden are all bio by Sativa or Bioseme, the longer easy to germinate, we will sow directly in the field (beans, zucchini, spinach, chard), while the most delicate ones we took them to the Day Center Pin Bevione Vezza d'Alba, them since many years, together with the the guests of the center, producing the seedlings with soil organic support. Although the price is higher than the average, for us is a very convenient service because we delivered a calendar and then we'll have seedlings ready at the right time and in the number that we need, with the exact type that we prefer having provided the seeds. Without forget the added value of providing support to a reality that deals with social issues.

In Piedmont hazelnut is said nisola and the plural is nisole and the first thing we did in the vegetable garden, was planting a double row of hazelnut Tonda Gentile delle Langhe as a kind of "fence" along its borders, so as to delimit the contours with a kind of "grove of hazelnuts."
