L'Orto del Borro

The Orto del Borro gets its name from the medieval village of the same name situated on the hills of the Valdarno area, near Arezzo, Il Borro, and started life as the family kitchen garden. Today it extends for 3 hectares, was certified as organic in 2015, boasting a production system that respects and manages natural balances. The entire project is overseen by Vittoria Ferragamo, the fifth of Ferruccio’s children, backed up by expert agronomists and a specialised team of farmers and botanical experts, the aim being to bring the genuine flavours of the countryside to the town.

The philosophy that has always underpinned Il Borro is that of preserving the surrounding territory and showcasing its excellence. Being an organic business also means reflecting on the value of agriculture and sustainable development. Concrete considerations that translate into extreme dedication, aimed at creating real benefits for the community and future generations. This dedication, indeed, has become a tangible commitment in every single aspect of the Orto del Borro.

We work with the nutritionist Lucia Bacciottini, to offer opportunities to reflect on the food we serve at our table and the importance of nourishing the body appropriately and effectively. Nutritional information on the main seasonal vegetables, useful advice on their use and recipes for a balanced diet are provided.
