Il Querceto is an farm of 35 hectares, situated on a hill at the foot of an oak forest, and protected to the north by a high mountain, Volturino, which comes right down to the stone houses, and there the oak forest stops and there are olive grove, a vineyard, apple orchard and fields of wheat and corn. To the south is the Agri valley, while to the east is the medieval village of Marsicovetere.
Finally, there is wild pasture, an underground spring and a magic circle with a large oak tree in the centre. The farm is certified organic by ICEA and in recent years we have also been using biodynamic methods. We have horses and poultry and cultivate forage crops in rotation to help the soil fertility. The farm was also called La terra di Nancy and has been running for 20 years to promote the development of eco-friendly initiatives and human development. On this theme we also organise seminars and workshops aimed at achieving well being and also on the development of organic and biodynamic farming, maintenance of biodiversity, research and testing of energy saving building techniques.
