There are many heirloom fruit varieties and we at the Bani Farm have specialised in the cultivation of apples. Heirloom varieties of apple trees are produced using the genetic resources of the Tuscany Region Germplasm Bank of Cerreta (Camaldoli) run by the Union of Municipalities of Casentino Montani. The plants, small and rustic in appearance, produce abundant harvests every year. The fruits are characterised by a yellow colour with different amounts of redness depending on the state of maturity. A richness that comes from the past and propels us into the future.
Here in the Casentino Valley, the Christmas tree is not only a traditional plant. On our farm, we cultivate it according to ancient customs, naturally using specialised organic farming, respecting the environment by preserving the delicate mountainous balance.
