Campo dei Frutti

Good

Super

Beautiful experience and great products! Very kind and friendly staff! Small suggestion (especially if you go with children): it would take more signs, perhaps along the main path, in order to better direct customers towards the fruit they want to collect. We will be back soon!

14/8/20 One morning last week Cristina - my wife - comes out with these words - "I'd like to go to the Fruit Field ... it's an orchard where you pick the fruit ... not far from here ... it's in the nearby Borghetto in Piacenza ". "And since it's Saturday we could go there today ...." Once in Borghetto - with the help of the navigator on the mobile phone - we had no problem finding the destination. As we entered the courtyard, the owner immediately came to meet us. We asked him a few things. You can see from the way he talks ... from the enthusiasm he puts into speaking that he likes this thing. That the work he does, he does it with passion. "Go on up to the Decumano, walk along it until you meet the fountain ... there you will find many plants of different varieties of peaches .... there are also nectarines". While he was explaining, he provided us with a pair of scissors and a cart to transport the fruit. He was also handing us a basket taken from a shelf where many other baskets were arranged in a row, but we had taken our ... basket up from home. He weighed it by making the tare. Then he accompanied us for a while giving us the last indications before letting us go free. The idea of ​​creating an orchard where the consumer who collects what he will then eat is an innovative, brilliant idea. I liked it right away. I read from his web page that there are 150 varieties of different plants. Among the many plants that I have seen, which I am not here to list, I have seen plum trees loaded with fruit beyond belief, rows of pear trees also full and rows of different fig trees. All of these at arm's length so that I don't have to use ladders. One thing that struck me reading about the "Fruit Field" is that they try to implement low-impact agriculture on the environment (if I remember correctly) by doing less possible treatments and perhaps integrating with the biological struggle to safeguard those very important aspects in the life of the camp. While I was there I did not miss the opportunity to take some photos. To better document. The vineyard ... How beautiful the vineyard. Both that for white grapes and that for black table grapes. How did they manage? .... to line up so many small things ... that led to such a great result? I think I will return often.

Wonderful place, both for children and adults. A large variety of fruit, well-kept trees and fair prices. We have been coming for 3 years and we are always happy.
