Crops

At Fattoria Valle Magica we are keen to focus on the varieties of plant species that are well adapted to our climate. We have purposely avoided any attempts on intensive farming especially where excessive quantities of water need to be pumped into the growing process. Our local land has been farmed for thousands of years with vines, fruit, nut and olive trees all being excellent choices for the arid and rocky terrain we have.

​Although we have some established olive and almond trees and have been planting further fruit and nut trees, we have elected to focus predominantly on Olive trees, Fig Trees, and heirloom cultivars. We also hope to replant some traditional grape types in the next few years.

Olives

A Mediterranean farm would not be a farm without olive trees. We were lucky to have some beautiful well established trees on our land and we have been busy planting more. Come along and find out more and taste our oil ...

Figs

With over 800 known species of fig, a previous hobby has become a serious effort to establish a supply of some of these wonderfully sweet fruits. Find out about what we are already growing and what we produce from them...

Vines

Montepuliciano D'Abruzzo is one of the best known products from this region.  Our farm was once covered in grape vines that produced this variety and we have decided to replant some as we continue to develop the farm..

Other Produce and Foraged food...

In addition to the three main items we also cultivate, a selection of traditional produce from tomatoes and chillis through to herbs and legumes. In addition we are planting a small area of Saffron and local Red Garlic. We also benefit from many natural foods including truffles, asparagus, nuts and herbs around the farm which we use to make drinks, preserves or tasty pasta dishes for the family.
