As part of our project to help rural communities back into traditional farming, we have focused on heritage wheats that have been grown in the around Heartland in the mountains of Abruzzo. Wheat is the first human crop, and one that has travelled with us through time, it is this crop that made us sedentary and farm the land. We have researched old wheat varieties grown in Italy and now grow it on small plots of mountain land with some almost forgotten varieties with lyrical names such as Solina, Grano Del Miracolo, Saragolla and Carrosella. 

We have sought high and low to find the few people who still grow these landraces and aim to support projects further a field, around Italy and also in the UK, to grow these again.(A landrace is a species which has adapted, over time, to its natural and cultural habitat). We are also creating a market for these amazing Italian wheats in the UK and love to teach people about how simple it is to make their own pasta, bread and much more.
