As a center of sustainable production, their main goal is to use the cultural value of the traditional production techniques in order to create participation. According to them, the bread produced on their farm is not their bread. It is the bread of the territory because everyone has been involved in the production. For that, they use sustainable practices in agriculture and organize events connected to them. You can have an overview of the activities organized by the center : www.tularu.it (in Italian).

It s important to come with a proactive attitude, knowing that sometimes you will do things without us. Being an agricultural activity, the dates of the Feasts should be 22nd ,, 23rd,, 24st July, but they are not fixed in advance since they mostly depend on the weather. In case of bad weather, other tasks will be performed.
