Circular Farm la fattoria urbana circolare

Circular Farm la fattoria urbana circolare

Circular Farm is an urban farm, inspired by the circularity of nature.
In our circular agricultural process we produce Oyster mushrooms reusing the coffee grounds from the bars and other product like medical mushrooms, micro-vegetable, flours, eggs, worm humus and compost.
Our process is innovative, because we use a vertical systems of cultivation in the shipping containers, out of land.
In addition to the production of mushrooms, our company produces micro-vegetables and vegetables from hydroponic cultivation systems (aquaponic system) and with a synergic garden.
From the mushrooms substrate, we make a compost pile and thanks of the aerobic fermentation we produce hot water that we use in winter time for heating our greenhouse.
In our Circular Farm space we organize educational tour for schoosl, experience, workshops and training for the people that want to replicate our circular system.
