Who We Are
Nature’s Renaissance
Fion springs from our love of nature, our desire to return to the roots and from the idea to give deserted lands lying fallow back its true value.
Our farm is situated in the Savuto Valley at 550 metres altitude. Our farm – as required by local traditions and organic guidelines – is managed without chemical pesticides or chemical fertiliser.
Savoring Every Season
We plant and grow all year round. Throughout the year we harvest green beans, fava beans, peas, tomatoes, zucchinis, eggplants, salad, corn, peppers, fennel, broccoli, pumpkins and a lot more. We also grow and gather our nuts, almonds, apples, pears and plums and – on demand – sell them at the farm- gate.
All our farm products that cannot be eaten immediately, are preserved so that we can live of our own produce all year round.
Sanctuary for Animals
We do not forget our animals and all farming produce is shared with them. Our farm is a home to donkeys, ponies, pigs and Vietnamese pot bellied pigs, cocks and hens, ducks and geese, birds, dogs and cats. Our animals are well accustomed to people and love their attentions.
Embracing Calabria’s Roots
On our lands we rediscovered many an old olive tree – we freed them from rank growth and also planted new olive trees, mainly Carolea, Tondo and Lecchino. These sorts take well to our soils and bring forth our distinctively tasting oil.
We also grow San Marzano tomatoes, and using an old Calabrian traditional recipe we make a special tomato sauce.
