Fastuchera was born a few years ago in Cammarata, in the province of Agrigento, as an experience of rediscovery and reappropriation of the land.
Animated by the desire to safeguard and enhance the island's agrobiodiversity, we think that producing healthy foods that respect the environment and people is the ethical duty of every farmer.

Fastuchera currently organically grows ancient Sicilian grains, from which it makes stone-milled flours and artisanal pasta, legumes, olive trees and dried fruits; it is the official headquarters of a Field for the conservation of Sicilian ancient fruit germplasm and a nascent Sicilian Ethnobotanical Garden.

In an area where there is a monoculture of modern grains destined for industry, recovering the seeds of some ancient grains, resuming their cultivation and producing our own flour, our own pasta, has meant regaining autonomy for us. A path of re-appropriation that first of all originated from, and continues to be animated by, not economic but ethical choices.

Choosing to grow ancient grains in fact means producing little, but it also means being able to produce without chemicals, giving value back to the millennial work of the generations that preceded us, obtaining healthy foods that nourish and make those who consume them feel good.
