Agriturismo Pulicaro | Regenerative farm with hospitality, in Acquapendente

Al Pulicaro troverete una fattoria biologica di 60 ettari, un antico casale di campagna, in pietra e accuratamente restaurato dove sono stati ricavati gli alloggi del B&B, un ristorante con cucina rurale tradizionale e un angolo di vendita diretta prodotti propri e selezionati dal territorio.
Marco, Chiara and their family will welcome you with open arms.

Pulicaro is the ideal place
…to spend a weekend away from the noise of the city, in contact with the countryside and peasant traditions;
...for a pleasant holiday to discover the beauties of central Italy, in an area full of nature trails, dotted with art villages and a stone's throw from regenerating places such as the spa or the lake;
…to visit an organic farm with high biodiversity, where you can find a space for discussion on agricultural traditions and the production of sustainable food and be able to savor it again at the table.

“Let's cultivate a new love for the Earth”
Marco and Chiara, the owners, have chosen to create a regenerative agricultural company, which operates organically, in total respect of environmental balance:
“We are a small company of around 60 hectares, we employ 8 people, 6 of whom are under 35 years old.
We began 12 years ago to re-cultivate a company that had been abandoned for over 25 years, laboriously transforming it into a small production company.
We immediately opted for Natural and Organic agriculture, and, in 2015, we also preferred to acquire the Bioagricert certification".

A characterizing point of the production of the Pulicaro farm is certainly the size and management of the company pastures which allow the animals to be raised truly outdoors, free to move and to integrate the diet with spontaneous vegetation and insects present in abundance. Except for extreme weather situations, the stables and chicken coops are always open, from dawn to dusk and the flavor of the meat of the animals that graze on our land is delicious and characteristic.

The Pulicaro Regenerative Farm borders the Monte Rufeno Nature Reserve, of which it is also a partner for the acquisition of the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism.
The company is also a member of the Maremmano Abruzzese Shepherd Club. It specializes in breeding and is committed to promoting the use of these dogs as an ecological and sustainable deterrent to livestock predation in protected areas and beyond. Extensive semi-wild farming is made possible by the presence of dogs, who tirelessly protect all the animals on the farm.

Fattoria Pulicaro has been reviewed by the website www.associazione-etico.eu which highlights ethical and sustainable farms throughout Italy.

But the Pulicaro Agricultural Company is not just breeding but also:
– an educational farm, which can be visited on Sunday mornings upon reservation;
– an olive grove with trees of local varieties, which have adapted over the centuries to this high hill climate;
– an orchard with trees of ancient varieties, which have a gradual maturation and which are more resistant by nature to diseases and harmful insects;
– an organic garden that produces only seasonal vegetables.

All agricultural production takes place following the rhythm of the seasons, respecting environmental balance, without the use of pesticides or antibiotics.

Do you want to see with your own eyes? Come and visit us
Once a week there is a moment in which we open the doors to those who wish to visit our farm and generally it turns out to be a pleasant interlude of leisure and constructive discussion between the participants: the appointment is every Sunday morning at 10:00 below to the large Pulicaro mulberry tree (during the summer the opening hours may vary in case of too high temperatures). The visit lasts about an hour and a half and is not limited to a walk in the fields, but often becomes an interesting moment of discussion.

The cost for visiting our organic farm is €10 per person for adults and €5 per person for children.
Children under 2 years old are our guests.

At the end of the walk, guests receive a free organic product "made in Pulicaro".
Reservations are required.
External animals are not allowed.
