DECORTICATED FARRO Weight:500gr

All cereals are produced by companies with total organic management and therefore decorated and packaged in the plants inside the cooperative.

Farro: this cereal can be found in a decorated form (rich in fibers), in perlate form (less rich in fiber, but faster to cook) and in a puffed form (ideal for breakfast or to "munch" between meals).

The organic agricultural cooperative LA TERRA E IL CIELO was born in 1980 from the courageous and pioneering initiative of the founding members, in a historical period in which conventional agriculture and organic farming is a virtually unknown niche sector.

The founders want to adopt a new, more sustainable approach to cultivation, moreover in a rural region par excellence such as marche,while rediscovering a more balanced relationship with nature,the environment and, ultimately, themselves. Initially, also inspired by active movements in other European countries, the cooperative adopts biological but also biodynamic methods. It can therefore rightly be counted among the first and most lasting biological experiences on the Italian scene.

The rediscovery and relaunch of ancient varieties of cereals and legumes,selected for quality and not exclusively for quantity, has represented and represents one of the cornerstones of the cooperative's activity. Today the farro (triticum dicoccum), particularly suitable for pasting, barley world to toast, used in the past as a substitute for coffee, millet, three hard grains of ancient varieties(Senatore Cappelli, Taganrog and Etruscan),cicerchia (lathyrus sativus), considered in ancient times the legume of the poor, represent for EARTH AND SKY the true symbols of their choice of quality and sustainability. Today the range of products, with a view to cultivation and, therefore, food, as diverse as possible, has expanded and boasts a considerable choice of types of cereal paste, flours, rice, legumes, extra virgin olive oil, wines, Guatemalan Arabic coffee, barley coffee, sauces and pasta, baked goods... Productions characterized by traceability, almost completely local and regional, that very few companies in Italy can boast.

In thirty years the cooperative has developed becoming a solid Italian reality of biologicor without ever losing contact with the values of solidarity, equity and respect for nature, for which it was born. Today pasta and all other organic products LA TERRA E IL CIELO, obtained from raw materials grown in uncontaminated environments without the use of synthetic chemicals and with the aim of a fair remuneration of the farmers' partners, are, for quality and goodness, among the most appreciated in Italy, Europe and also in many countries of the world.

LA TERRA E IL CIELO is a rare example of a true cooperative that works and markets exclusively Italian organic raw material, mainly from the Marcheregion, coming from the member agriculturalproducers, who are guaranteed a fair produttori agricoli soci price..
From sowing to the finished product the whole process is supervised by our cooperative structure, with procedures of careful quality control. In addition to the feedback of the Certification Body we have always had an internal agricultural technician who knows the producers one by one and with whom he collaborates with the common goal of respecting high organic standards.
It should also be noted that, in order to be admitted to producer members of our cooperative, in addition to having a recognized history of reliability and seriousness, it is necessary to cultivate exclusively with the method of organic farming,anotherremarkable guarantee of quality of the final product.
Buying our products, therefore, not only defends the Italian organic farming of small producers who protect the environment and biodiversity but contributes to the affirmation of a fairer economic and social model, which we call a "solidarity economy"and which is developing from below. This new, urgent approach runs counter to a certain financial globalisation which is essentially undermining the local economy for the benefit only of speculative projects by individual entrepreneurs or major international finance.
