Respect for the environment, sustainability and ecology are the basis of the thinking that led to the birth of Foionco. The farm immediately obtained organic certification for all its products, mainly extra virgin olive oil and cereals. In 2016, 1000 organic olive trees were planted, in addition to those already present on the farm. Our company follows the principle of rotation as regards the arable land, useful for the regeneration of the land and in compliance with the recovery times of the field. Plowing is not carried out for working the land to preserve the natural stratification of the soil, which is essential for biodiversity.
The new structures of the farm, which did not exist before, were built in wood according to green building standards in Energy Class A++++, and the recovery of the old manor house was also carried out from a green perspective. Certified antibacterial stoneware materials have been used for the floors and walls. The pool, with very low energy consumption, with a new generation microfiltration system, it allows a minimum use of chlorine and other chemical substances. The garden, designed by an expert landscape architect, is made up of Mediterranean plants and flowers that require a low use of water even in the hot season.
Il Foionco uses renewable energy with photovoltaic panels that exploit the generosity of the sun, produced by the two company plants for a total of 36kw of power.
With this in mind, the accommodation facility is also managed, with the administration of organic or sustainable and local food products, and avoiding waste. Maximum attention also to the separate collection and use of pollutants for hygiene and cleaning.
