Nestled in Rivoli’s scenic moraine hills, Fattoria Roggero champions beekeeping, biodiversity, and sustainability. Bees are the heartbeat of their work, vital for ecosystems and food security, enhancing crop quality while thriving in chemical-free mountain areas. Collaborating with Coldiretti Torino, they ensure a healthy, biodiverse environment through regular environmental checks. Education is at the farm’s core. Their teaching garden inspires children and adults to reconnect with nature’s rhythms, embracing patience and respect in contrast to today’s fast-paced world. On-site sales deepen this connection, empowering consumers to make thoughtful, responsible food choices. Fattoria Roggero’s social mission shines through its work placement programs, supporting individuals with disabilities or unemployment challenges. By seamlessly blending production, conservation, and education, they show how sustainability isn’t just about taste—it’s about ethics, community, and protecting the planet.
