Legumes

Farming and harvesting legumes

in Altamura

The crops produced at our cooperative Altamurabioagri are renowned for their authentic taste, a pure expression of the Apulian region. This means that our products are rich in the natural taste that is guaranteed by organic farming, where waiting and following seasons is highly valued and rewarded by excellent results.

Our farmers are especially devoted to both farming and harvesting cereals and legumes, such as peas, green, red and black lentils, grass peas and white chickpeas.

Artisan skill and innovation

By devoting ourselves passionately to the art of organic and natural farming and using our experience, we produce high-quality products that ensure both environmental health and the health of people in general. Our legume farming and harvesting processes combine artisanal skill from our old farming culture along with modern innovation shown by using machinery, which helps us to manage orders faster.

This is how, in a few years, we have become the trusted partner for all those looking to bring top quality food to the table which is always incredibly fresh.

Legumes: a healthy partner

Up until the 1950s, legumes were considered as the poor people's meat because they were rich in the nutrients necessary to renew energy needed to work. Today, we grow, farm and harvest legumes which are a favourite choice of anyone who cares about their health and that of the environment.

Together with cereals, they are actually the best source of natural food energy, being rich in minerals, vitamins, fibre and trace elements.
