We carefully choose the farms to be included in the UFarmer network.

Food and wine excellence is based on nature, its flavors and its cycles. A high quality product requires a long, constant, careful work and innovative farms in love with their work. To adopt means to contribute from the beginning to the delicate process that brings a fruit of the earth from the field to your table. It also means establishing a special bond with the producer and the territory, a bond that will lead you to enjoy an exclusive product, personal and signed by you.
Thanks to the adoption system you achieve food and wine excellence and contribute to its production process. Let’s take an example, if you choose to adopt a certain quantity of vines in 2023, you will be entitled to a corresponding quantity of wine of the vintage 2023 when the cultivation, harvest, harvest processes will be completed, fermentation, and bottling.
You can choose between different types of adoption: plant (you will participate in the entire production process), barrel (you will participate in the production process after the harvest), product (you will participate in the post-harvest production process, in smaller quantities than those guaranteed by a barrel).
When you choose to adopt a cask, you can participate in the stages of production following the harvest and the harvest. By adopting a cask you can obtain the product of different vintages that may need different timing of aging.
By adopting, you achieve food and wine excellence and contribute to its production process.
Let’s take an example, if you choose to adopt an olive grove in 2023, you will be entitled to a certain amount of olive oil of the year 2023 when the cultivation, harvesting, washing, crushing, kneading, centrifuging processes will be completed, storage and bottling.
The cost varies depending on the product chosen, the type of adoption and when you decide to enter the project. The cost is clearly indicated on the UFarmer platform and varies over time, depending on the time of production and market fluctuations. When you finalize the adoption, the price will be permanently frozen.
