Understanding Osmica

The tradition of "Osmica" has ancient roots, dating back to the times of Charles the Great and further developing under Maria Theresa's decree. This historical permittance allowed vine growers to sell surplus wine directly to consumers for a limited time each year. Over time, this practice expanded to include a variety of local produce, representing a true farm-to-table experience.

Community and Sustainability

The farm also participates in initiatives aimed at preserving agricultural land and maintaining rural populations. By promoting environmentally friendly farming practices, it helps safeguard the cultural landscape and promote sustainable land use.
