Organic Farm San Martino – Alberto’s lifelong dream.
The Organic Farm San Martino is the realization of a lifelong dream for Alberto Dalpiaz and his family. After many years working as an export manager for several large Italian food companies, Alberto and his wife Giulia Bartellone founded the Azienda Agricola San Martino on the hills behind Porto Maurizio (Imperia) in Liguria.
Since its founding in 2004, Alberto, Giulia and their two sons have worked tirelessly to produce the highest quality food in the most organic way possible. On a nearly 4 hectare San Martino Organic Farm there are three separate vegetable beds as well as a small orchard, olive groves and several beehives. The San Martino organic farm also produces its own extra virgin olive oil from the Taggascia olive, a highly prized olive variety originating in Liguria.
The latest addition to the farm is a newly renovated guest house with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms overlooking the beautiful Imperia and the sea.
Why we grow organically
On the farm, we pride ourselves on producing and selling local varieties of fresh products without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. For us, there is no alternative to this type of sustainable farming at the Organic Farm San Martino. Our farm is based on a deep respect for the natural beauty and value of the land in which it is located. From the beginning (even before passing the organic certification) at Organic Farm San Martino we have embraced the idea of an organic existence. Similar to our friends from Sassolive, for example.
We, Organic Farm San Martino, are a certified organic farm under Bio AgriCert Italia.
Our awards:
- Premio BIOL 3° Classificato (26th of May 2018) – Our olive oil has been internationally recognized and awarded a silver medal by BIOL.
- Best in Liguria region – 3rd place for our olive oil.
- Presidio Slow Food – Liguria region (in recognition of traditional preparation and cultivation of Taggascia olives).
