The Farm

La Raia lies at the heart of Novi Ligure hills. It covers more than 100 hectares of land: chestnut and acacia woods, a small lake, hills with vineyards, cultivated fields, old houses and barns with goats and dairy cows. We farm the land with biodynamic methods, according to a philosophy that pays attention to the balance of nature and to the ecosystem. We provide the schools with laboratories and guided tours during which children come into contact with nature, playing and getting dirty, experiencing the soil, the water, plants and animals.
