Our agricultural estate is also our philosophy
The agricultural estate "Terreni alla Maggia SA" was founded in the year 1930. The farm covers about 150 hectares of cultivated land in the communes of Ascona, Locarno and Gordola. The mean altitude is 198 meters above sea-level, which means it is the lowest lying area in the whole of Switzerland. At the farm there are crop fields, vineyards and fruit-gardens. In the estate which is close to the protected nature reserve called "Foce della Maggia", an ecological type of agriculture has been maintained for hundreds of years. It's also the first and only agricultural estate that produces rice grown 100% in Switzerland.
