L'Orto del Borro
Our Vegetable Garden
The Orto del Borro aims not only at the production of vegetable for the in-house restaurants, but also at carrying on the production of crops that had either been lost over time or were strictly linked to the territory, such as the chickpea or the small Tuscan tomato. Vittoria’s ongoing quest for sustainable forms of agriculture and the promotion of biodiversity have made this project more and more ambitious.
In addition to the production of seasonal vegetables, Il Borro has undertaken the production of flours from ancient grains and spelt (low gluten), buckwheat (gluten-free), to produce homemade pasta, lowrefined flours, puffed products and biscuits.
Production is carried out according to organic farming principles, without using pesticides and chemical fertilisers, favouring an agronomic approach with minimal environmental impact by implementig certain activities such as crop rotation, compost and green manure made of graminaceous and leguminous plants.
In all the restaurants of Il Borro you will be able to taste the Estate’s products such as ricotta cheese, eggs, vegetables, flours for leavened products and much more! Come and enjoy our genuine products, book your table!
