Foraging
We offer you this ancient practice, common to many rural populations, of collecting wild food and uncultivated wild herbs with us that amaze the palate with unusual flavours and aromas.
With a sensitivity always aimed at our roots as shepherds-gatherers, when taking the flock to pasture, we would go home in the evening with a saddlebag full of local, wild vegetables: “fogghe miscate”, pampasciuni, cicurieddhe, paparene, zanguni, thistles and wild asparagus, but also cardoncelli mushrooms and snails, we offer you a walk to discover the spontaneous plant species that characterize our territory.
In the expanse of Mediterranean scrub, we can learn to recognize, collect and use spontaneous aromatic plants such as thyme, oregano, rosemary, and capers, but also murtedda, mastic and laurel which give flavour to traditional southern dishes.
Not only will we recognize the native botanical species by collecting them correctly to preserve their conservation, but we will get in tune with the surrounding environment feeling an integral part of its life cycle.
Our family kitchen is the last stop of your staying at the farm.
