Organic farming in Italy: welcome to Organic Farming Italy, where the best ideas truly come 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 gives you the opportunity to play an active role in supporting sustainable agriculture. By adopting an olive tree, you support the organic cultivation of our olive groves in Liguria, Italy.
Your tree is cared for by experienced organic farmers, and each year you receive your own high-quality organic olive oil, made from the incomparable Taggiasca variety and harvested from your tree.
You can also take part in the olive harvest and experience the entire production process firsthand.
Our philosophy: You do not have to be an angel to make a positive difference. We ride Vespas and drive cars, we have mobile phones, and we eat fish and sometimes meat. But we have a vision. We want to inspire a movement in which more and more farmers in Liguria and across Italy discover that farming organically is more authentic, more rewarding, and more profitable in the long term. That is our approach to organic farming in Italy.
We also want people from all over Europe to join them: people who discover Organic Farming Italy, believe in the idea, and want to help it spread, whether actively or simply through their support.
Would you like to support sustainability? Then you have come to the right place. Our organic farmers share a commitment to organic farming in Italy that goes far beyond Organic Farming Italy. They think, feel, and work organically to help create a sustainable future.
They currently cultivate more than 20 hectares of exceptional organic land in the beautiful region of Liguria. Olives thrive here alongside delicious vegetables, juicy fruit, and fine wine. Our farmers also produce pesto, preserved olives, fresh organic eggs, and organic honey, all with the utmost care and respect for nature.
The success of Organic Farming Italy has attracted other farmers and beekeepers. We are growing together, and new members may soon enrich our sustainable farming community. Organic Farming Italy is helping an ever-larger area of Liguria to be cultivated both organically and sustainably.
Would you like to join this movement and support organic farming in Italy? Together, we can make the world a little greener and more sustainable. Learn more about our mission and become part of our organic community.
Organic farming in Italy: Sassolive’s story goes back several hundred years. Bianca’s great-great-great-grandfather, Mario Novaro, settled in the hills of Oneglia…
Organic farming in Italy: Since it was founded in 2004, Alberto, Giulia, and their two sons have worked tirelessly to produce food of the highest possible quality…
Whenever we have to choose between the quality of our products and our profit margin, we choose quality. That is our philosophy. For example, we stop accepting new sponsorships if we are concerned that we may not be able to produce enough organic olive oil for every sponsor at the end of the year.
We would never blend our olive oil with oil from another farm. Anyone familiar with the original can taste the difference, and blending would not meet our standard for premium organic olive oil. We also choose to work with people who share our values.
That applies to both farmers and customers.
Our philosophy: organic is not a trend; it is a way of life. Most people cannot follow every rule of sustainable living all the time. Our organic olive oil, however, leaves no room for compromise. It is 100% organic and contains no additives. Even our olive press has never come into contact with inorganic or unnatural substances.
Sustainability is too important not to share. We are always looking for new ways to spread ideas that benefit us all. Olive tree sponsorship is just one of them. We also plan to offer corporate events where employees can experience firsthand what it means to produce food in harmony with the environment.
If you simply want to buy olive oil, an organic olive tree sponsorship may not be for you. A sponsorship makes you part of our community of organic farmers, with all its benefits and responsibilities. You can follow your tree’s development and visit it, but you also share the farmers’ risk of a poor harvest. That is 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.
