CERTIFIED ORGANIC FARM
CROPS ROTATION & POLYCULTURES
Thanks to their ability to mimic nature principles, they are recognized among the best methods to achieve outstanding yields organically.
HEIRLOOM & OLD VARIETIES
Italian Black Corn, Modi’ and Opal apples, Hunger-killers Beans are resilient varieties and the perfect complement to crop rotation and polyculture. The choice of native and ancient strains that easily adjust to climate and territory results in a considerable reduction of pest management control.
DRIP IRRIGATION
Possibly the most sustainable method for fields irrigation, as it ensures the optimum delivery of nutrients while curbing water consumption.
HARVESTING & PASTEURISATION
Except for the corn, Alena performs harvesting by hand. The brand opts for a low pasteurization process to ensure maximum preservation of nutrients while employing best in class food safety measures. To deliver trusted, healthy products to customers and retailers.
PEST MANAGEMENT
All fruits and vegetables are grown free of chemicals, pesticides and invasive industrial farming practices. Diego and Laura employ natural, organic solutions for the fertilisation and pest management of all crops.
HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES
To provide Malegno and nearby villages with a sustainable alternative to eggs from industrial farming, Diego and Laura started raising chickens and hens in a free-range, cage-free, open-air environment.
