The cherry orchards are located in the area of Perciana, between 650 and 700 m Mamsl, covering the highest part of the Farm. This peculiar microclimate is suitable for the growth of this delicate arboreal plant and it facilitates, moreover, the harmonic ripening of the highly testy Ferriovia cherries. The harvest is carried by hand from the second half of May till the end of June. As soon as they are picked, the cherries of the Farm are immediately moved to some well-known distributors of organic products, kept at the right temperature and dispensed within 48 hours to some specialized retail-stores in Italy and Europe. |
