FARMER FROM BARLETTA, ITALY
We believe in the sustainability of our production.
"Climate change is becoming increasingly evident," says Lucia Dilillo. "It's putting our production to the test." She and her husband Ruggiero grow peaches, nectarines and grapes on 23 hectares of land. Despite the challenges, she also has wonderful stories to tell. "One day I discovered a swarm of bees in the field, resting on a branch after their journey," says Dilillo. "I put a bowl of water in front of the bees. The next day the bowl was almost empty, and the bees were gone."
