Organic farming in Italy: welcome to Organic Farming Italy, where the best ideas literally originate from the heart! Our story began when Bianca Bartolozzi decided to share her idyllic piece of land in Italy with others who are just as passionate about organic farming and sustainability as she is.
An olive tree sponsorship with Organic Farming Italy offers you the opportunity to actively participate in the promotion of sustainable agriculture. By adopting an olive tree, you support the organic cultivation of our olive groves in Liguria, Italy.
Your tree will be tended by experienced organic farmers and you will receive your personal, high-quality organic olive oil from the incomparable “Taggiasca” variety directly from the harvest of your tree every year.
Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to take part in the olive harvest and experience the entire production process up close.
Our philosophy: You don’t have to be an angel to get good moving. We drive Vespa and cars, we have cell phones and we eat fish and sometimes meat. But we have a vision. We imagine that we are initiating a movement through which more and more farmers in Liguria and the whole of Italy are discovering how much more real, beautiful and, in the long term, it is more profitable to cultivate their land organically. This is our approach to organic farming in Italy.
And that join the people, from all over Europe. People who discover Organic Farming Italy for themselves, who are enthusiastic about this idea and want to help passively or actively to spread faster and more quickly.
Would you like to promote sustainability? Then you’ve come to the right place! Our organic farmers in the region have a passion for organic farming in Italy that goes beyond “Organic Farming Italy”. They think, feel and work one hundred percent organically to create a sustainable future.
They currently cultivate more than 20 hectares of first-class organic land in the beautiful region of Liguria. Not only olives thrive here, but also delicious vegetables, juicy fruit and exquisite wine. Our farmers also produce pesto, pickled olives, fresh organic eggs and organic honey – all of the highest quality and with a lot of love for nature.
The success of “Organic Farming Italy” has brought us to the attention of other farmers and beekeepers. We are growing and thriving together, and it is quite possible that new members will soon join our sustainable organic farming community in Italy. In this way, “Organic Farming Italy” is creating an ever-growing area that is not only organic, but also sustainably farmed.
Would you like to be part of this wonderful movement and support organic farming in Italy? Together we can make the world a little bit greener and more sustainable. Learn more about our mission and become part of our organic community!
Organic farming in Italy: the history of Sassolive – azienda agricola dates back several hundred years. Bianca’s great-great-great-grandfather Mario Novaro had settled in the hills of Oneglia…

If we have to choose between the quality of our products and the margin for them, we always opt for quality. That is our philosophy. For example, we do not allow any new adoptions if we are worried that we will not be able to produce enough organic olive oil for the adoptive parents at the end of the year.
Because we would never mix our olive oil with one from another farm. You can taste this if you know the original oil and this would not do justice to our claim to first-class organic olive oil. And our philosophy is to only have people around us who share our views.
This applies equally to farmers, but also to customers.
Our philosophy: organic is not a trend, it is a way of life. Although it is not possible for most people to keep to the rules of a sustainable life. This is not the case with our organic olive oil. There is no such way here or not at all. So our olive oil is 100% organic. Without any additives. Even the olive press has never come into contact with anything inorganic unnatural.
Sustainability is too important not to be shared. So we are always looking for new ideas in order to spread as far as possible what is good and right for all of us. Adoption of the olive trees is just an idea here. For example, we also plan to offer events for companies so that their co-owners can experience live what it means to produce food in harmony with the environment.
People who just want to buy olive oil shouldn’t adopt an organic olive tree from us. With the sponsorship you are part of a community of organic farmers. With all its advantages and disadvantages. You take part in the development of your tree, you can come and visit it. But like all farmers you also bear the risk of a bad harvest, for example. That’s nature.
Organic Farming Italy is a community centered around organic farming in Liguria. It started with Bianca Bartolozzi’s Azienda Agricola Sassolive; today, several organic farmers and beekeepers from the region work together.
The affiliated farms are located in and around Imperia in Liguria on the Italian Riviera. These include, among others, Azienda Agricola Sassolive and Azienda Agricola San Martino.
For us, organic isn’t a single product feature, but part of the entire way we work. The farms cultivate their land organically and place special emphasis on quality, sustainability, and traditional handcraft.
With a sponsorship, you support the organic management of the olive groves. Your personal olive tree is cared for, documented, and depending on the sponsorship, you receive olive oil from the harvest.
Yes. Sponsors can visit their tree and the farms by arrangement and experience the work in the olive groves on site.
In addition to olives and organic extra virgin olive oil, depending on the farm, products include vegetables, fruit, wine, pesto, marinated olives, eggs, and honey.
