ALL THE GOOD FROM NATURE
... from the vegetable garden to the table
Authentic, wholesome goodness
Since July 2019, il pozzo e la macina has been a farm too, thanks to the creation of some raised beds for vegetables built with disused wooden planks saved from dairies no longer in business. Cultivation methods follow the dictates of permaculture.
In addition to the recovery of local very fertile silt, as the garden is located a few meters from the bank of the Ceno River,
the raised beds were filled by creating layers of organic material provided by Mother Nature spontaneously: branches, leaves and grass swathe.
Vegetables, fruit and officinal herbs are not subjected to any chemical treatment
and they are actually organic products, feeding only on sunshine and water supplied thanks to a drip irrigation system.
Mulch is also environmentally friendly as a 100% biodegradable and compostable Mater-bi sheeting was used.
Rediscover the true flavors of the land
the historic farmstead
The growing interest in wild herbs and their harvesting (the increasingly popular practice of foraging) led Chiara, in February 2020, to attend a professional course dedicated to medicinal herbs.
Thanks to the family-run farm, Chiara is able to bring her own products to the table and serve them to guests; she also has the opportunity to sell them directly to the public, both fresh and in processed, dried, and packaged forms

Pick-Your-Own & Farm Aperitifs
During the months of July, August, and mid-September, self-harvesting is available on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., by mandatory reservation at info@bbilpozzoelamacina.it.
You will be provided with a basket and a pair of scissors, and you’ll be able to choose and pick fresh produce directly from the vegetable garden to purchase.
During the summer months, we also host ‘farm aperitifs’ set among the raised beds of our farm, featuring vegetables and medicinal herbs grown by us, along with cured meats, cheeses, and wines from friendly local farms that represent the territory.”
