Siamo una piccola realtà agricola nella Valle di Primiero, nel Trentino orientale. Lavoriamo circa 2 ettari totali di terra tra prati, campi, bosco, e frutteto, in parte nel fondovalle a Imer (TN), e in parte presso il nostro maso a circa 1000mt di altitudine. Nei nostri campi coltiviamo ortaggi, patate, mais, legumi e cereali, con una particolare attenzione alla cura e alla riproduzione delle sementi e della biodiversità. Nel frutteto custode alleviamo principalmente alberi da frutto di varietà antiche e locali, con l'obiettivo di salvaguardare e conservare le vecchie cultivar di mele e pere. In estate curiamo i prati con falce e rastrello ricavandone il fieno per i nostri animali della fattoria. Ad affiancarci infatti nella cura del territorio e nel lavoro dei campi ci sono tre asini, che ci aiutano nelle lavorazioni leggere del terreno, nel trasporto della legna o del letame nei campi più ripidi. Poi abbiamo le api per l'impollinazione e il miele; qualche pecora, che contribuisce a tenere il prato pulito; delle anatre che ci aiutano nella lotta contro le limacce e delle immancabili galline che oltre alle uova, fanno un prezioso lavoro nei campi durante i mesi di riposo invernale. Da qualche anno siamo certificati biologici, ma più che la certificazione, teniamo in conto il rispetto e il delicato equilibrio del territorio montano che abbiamo la fortuna di vivere. Metodi organici: - rotazione e avvicendamento delle colture - semina di sovescio - macerati e preparati di erbe antifungini e antiparassitari - consociazioni fra orticole - allevamento di piante da frutto ricavate da seme e innesti con varietà di frutta antica e locale - riproduzione delle sementi - autoproduzione di piantine da seme biologico o proprio - utilizzo di avicoli al pascolo per la lotta ai parassiti (anatre/galline) Certificazioni: ICEA (Istituto per la Certificazione Etica e Ambientale) Progetti attuali: - creazione di una varietà di mais cinquantino locale attraverso la selezione e la semina di diverse varietà - fattoria didattica - giornate esperienziali di vita al maso - lavori agricoli a trazione animale - salvaguardia, recupero e valorizzazione di varietà storiche e locali di alberi da frutta (mele e pere) - autonomia nella riproduzione delle sementi Accesso a Internet disponibile

Le séjour chez Simone a été vraiment passionnant, nous avons appris énormément de choses sur les animaux et l’agriculture organique. J’ai trouvé que le travail à faire était toujours intéressant et bien expliqué. Simone et sa famille ont été très accueillant et chaleureux, nous nous sommes immédiatement sentis à l’aise et en bonne compagnie. Nous avons vécu de très chouettes moments dans ce joli village au milieu des montagnes. J’ai donc très envie de revenir et je recommande vivement l’expérience du Woofing chez Simone !

A truly unforgettable WWOOFing experience at Agricola Solan! Simone and his family have created a little slice of paradise in the heart of Italy. Nestled among the mountains, their farm is surrounded by natural beauty and filled with life; lush gardens brimming with flowers, fruits, vegetables, and a joyful bunch of animals. From the moment I arrived, Simone, his wife, their children, extended family, and friends made me feel completely at home. Their warmth and hospitality turned this into so much more than just a volunteer experience. Simone is incredibly patient, kind, and curious. He generously shares his knowledge and is always respectful and fair when it comes to tasks and working hours. I learned so much while feeling supported and appreciated every step of the way. If you're looking for a place to to get your hands dirty, your belly filled and your heart full, I can't recommend Agricola Solan enough. My only regret? Not staying longer!

Our stay with Simone and his wonderful family was our first wwoofing experience and it was just perfect! We helped to take care of the sheeps (even with shearing them), chickens and ducks, weeded and/or planted different vegetables (beans, soybeans, carrots, corn and others), assisted in heaping up potatoes, prepared chicken feed from corn cobs with a traditional tool and helped dry the hay on the family's beautiful “maso” in the mountains. Simone explained everything to us in detail and shared his broad knowledge with us: especially about old regional varieties that he uses, but also about experiments that he undertakes with new plants and varieties. We felt so welcomed by the whole family from the very first moment and enjoyed the warm and friendly environment of their home. We would love to come back one day! Grazie mille a tutti!

Staying with Simone and his family in the valley of Primiero for 10-ish days was the best decision I could take As my first wwoofing experience, it was everything I expected and more, Simone and Catarina are both super nice and eager to share their knowledge of the farm work or of the region. Work was never too much and always interesting, I could discuss with Simone as we planted vegetables, and I could get free time to wander in the region when I wanted I would recommend this place to anyone :)

Ciao! Spending time with Simone and his family, I learned about a variety of things. First of all the work on the farm which is done in a very natural way. During or after the work, they shared experiences and knowledge with me. And I could witness a duck breaking out of his eggshell in my bedroom! Thank you!

The time at Simones place was amazing and unique in every way, I would definitly recommend a stay there. The two weeks I spent there, I felt really welcome and had a great time, I would have wished to stay longer in the end. I learned a lot about traditional farming and the way, how people live or used to live in this region. Simone explained a lot to us. He was always friendly, patient and has a good sense of humor. The tasks were very diverse, so work never got boring :-) we prepared great meals together, with fresh vegetables from the garden and had a good and funny time together. The surrounding is also beautiful, there are a lot of hiking and biking possibilities. GRAZIE MILLE PER TUTTO!
