HOME WHO WE ARE HOW WE WORK PRODUCTS NEWS PHOTO CONTACTS The Farm The Farm The Barduca company produces organic leaf lettuce and aromatic herbs for the market throughout Europe. Cultivating the land for us comes from the past, it all began at least 4 generations ago. Barduca's farm produces organic salad leaves and herbs for retailers throughout Europe. Our farming tradition goes back many years at least as far as 4 generation. The Barduca family arrived in Borgoricco in the early 1800s and began to cultivate a small plot of land. From that period to today things have changed: always remaining open to modern technologies that have made agricultural techniques simpler than in the past, we have re-introduced traditional methods in order to keep our product as natural and healthy as possible. Barduca's family arrived in Borgoricco at the begining of XIX century and started to farm a little plot of land. Things are very different now: while technology has made farming easier in many aspects, we have re-introduced traditional methods in order to keep our products as natural and healthy as possible. We do not use synthetic fertilizers or chemicals for pest control; each cultivation is completely organic and free from synthetic chemistry. No chemical pest control or synthetic fertilizer are used, everything we grow is completely organic and chemical-free. The rotation of the land is carried out by alternating lettuce, wild rocket, baby spinach, parsley and some aromatic herbs. The crops extend over 2 hectares of greenhouses and 50 hectares of open field. Year round production includes lettuce, rocket salad, radicchio, spinach, parsley. These and many other herbs are grown in 2 acres of greenhouses and 50 acres of land. Il terreno viene preparato rimuovendo le piante infestanti grazie alla tecnica tradizionale di bruciare lo strato più superficiale del terreno utilizzando la moderna tecnologia del p irodiserbo. The soil is prepared by removing grass seeds and weeds by the traditional method of burning the top layer of ground with a modern farming machine. I parassiti sono controllati grazie alla vicinanza di piante che ospitano insetti antagonisti, come la salvia, e all’utilizzo di prodotti ottenuti da piante, microrganismi o funghi. Pest are naturally controlled by companion planting such as sage or natural products obtained by plants, microrganisms and fungi. Al fine di mantenere le nostre coltivazioni affini all’ecosistema naturale , abbiamo costituito un bacino idrico di acqua piovana e stiamo lavorando per avere compost proveniente dagli scarti dell’azienda agricola. In order to keep our crops as close to nature as possible we have created a rainwater harvester and we are working for an home-made compost. Nel 2007 l’azienda si è allargata grazie ai 50 ettari di terra a Sant’Eufemia di Borgoricco. Qui noi coltiviamo cereali, legumi e vegetali come il radicchio. Molti progetti sono in arrivo…state connessi! In 2007 the farm enlarged thanks to 50 acres of land in S. Eufemia in Borgoricco. Here we grow organic cereals, legumes and vegetables like radicchio. Many project are coming soon… stay tunned! . Francesco Barduca Srl - VAT number 00747970283 - 35010 Borgoricco (PD) Via Piovega, 41 / C Cookie's Policy sitemap login / logout
