La Marostegana

The La Marostegana Agri-business is located in the territory between the Berici hills and the river Brenta, where the soil quality, availability of spring water and mildness of the climate combine to create a perfect environment for growing vegetables. For generations, the farm was geared towards cultivating fodder and breeding livestock, today´s business is the result od trasforming the family Firm into a complete agri-food industry: from producing to trasforming and marketing cut salads.

The surface are, all of it owned, is around 70 hectares in extent in Piazzola Sul Brenta in the province of Padova and arond 27 hectares in extent in the Sele Plain in the province of Salerno where we grow roquette mostly in the winter in order to ensure continuity of supply throughtout the year.

By corporate choice, harvesting the salads is performed by hand and without the aid of machinery to ensure that there is a first selection of the product in the field and that foreign bodies are eliminated.

Our firm has seven temperature controlled vehicles for transporting products to the various fruit and vegetable markets. We have “always” been present at the fruit and vegetable market in Padua, in a reserved zone (zone B) in the producers’ area.

Daily deliveries are also ensured to the fruit and vegetable markets in Vicenza, Verona, Treviso, Udine and Bologna. There are two supermarket chains among our customers.

In addition to the domestic market our products reach various destinations in the following European countries: Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary.
