Collection: Agricola Farm
Agricola farm is a small diversified farm in the heart of Vermont's Champlain Valley, with a strong Italian footprint, not only because we (Alessandra and Stefano) were born and raised in Italy, but also because our model is founded in the Italian “agriturismo.” We open the doors of our farm and let you discover the world of agriculture with all of its wonder and complexities.
For us, Agricola Farm is our way of conveying to others the beauty of wholesome food. We provide education around how food is produced, and we show the hard work that goes into making it and sharing the fun stories behind it. We believe in a “slow food” approach to food production: it requires a lot of effort and a good amount of time to develop high quality wholesome food. Our farm lunches and dinners are slow too; you will build your best memories with your friends and with strangers between a bite of salame and a forkful of handmade pasta.
Our Mission
Our goal is to make a high quality product that reflects our taste and our tradition. This can be achieved only through healthy and well-treated animals that can express their natural instincts, important both for a reason of respect towards the animals and as an essential way to promote their health.
Our second goal is to take care of our environment using a holistic approach that considers every component of our ecosystem, from the land to the water and the air. The use of good farming practices that prevent erosion and minimize land and water pollution can contribute to a better environment for us and for everyone around us and after us. Every decision at the farm is made taking into great account our impact on the environment.
Our third goal is to provide an opportunity for people in our community to try traditional and authentic Italian food, to connect people to farming and to provide opportunities for people to create good memories with family and friends because good food is the one thing that connects us all.
