My story
Daniel Ladurner lives with his family in the village of Stava in the municipality of Naturno, but his organic fruit farm is in Val Senales. The fatc that this landscape was already inhabitable 5,300 years ago is proved by the world-famous Ötzi, the iceman who was found in the valley head by the glacier. Daniel is a young farmer who grows organic apples which comply to EU regulations and also to those of the Bioland Association. To do this he only uses organic fertilizer and he pays particular attention to adopting cultivation methods that protect the soil in order to maintain the equilibrium of this sensitive mountain area. Every time harvest comes round, he is proud of the way his apples look. The mountain sun makes them especially sweet and the temperature variation between day and night, which is particularly pronounced in the Val Senales, means that the apples ripen for longer and become more crisp. Daniel's goals are clear, he wants tasty, wholesome apples and he wants to preserve nature the way it is.
