Ca.Stella is a social project that allows those who attend and work there a path of personal growth. The structure of Ca.Stella in Camino Spinirolo and the Camping del Monte San Giorgio in Meride are an open place marked by ecology, hospitality and respect.

 

Among the agricultural varieties, offered in the gardens of Meride at our nonprofit social enterprise, we grow several herbs featured in the classic Amaro Generoso recipe.

 

The collaboration between Bisbino and Ca.Stella stems from the sharing of common values and a deep respect for nature.

A project that is based on social inclusion and participation, two key concepts for our company, which aims at a production of products and processed products for internal consumption and a part for sale, the proceeds of which will be entirely reinvested in the social farm.   The green spaces, vegetable garden and orchards are maintained by Ca.Stella’s Inclusive Team, cantonal special school children and guests, who participate in our hosting project.   The agricultural sector of Ca.Stella FARM in addition to vegetables puts processed products such as jams, honey, herbs, salt and flavored sugar on the market.   Our jams, made entirely from fruit harvested at Ca.Stella FARM, are low in sugar and avoid the use of chemical preservatives.   The honey comes from our bees cared for by our President Carlo with a Social Beekeeping project carried out in collaboration with Casa Astra, a reception center in Mendrisio and financed by the Regional Authority for the Development of Mendrisiotto and Basso Ceresio.   All fruits and vegetables at Ca.Stella FARM are grown with natural and traditional methods, without the use of pesticides and chemicals to preserve the qualitative and organoleptic characteristics of the product, respecting the environment and the entomofauna present in the area.  

Vegetables and fruits are used, according to seasonality, at Ca.Stella FARM’s kitchen and at our restaurant at the Campground, Bistrot Ca.Stella.

 

Walking around Ca.Stella FARM you can also impractice your sense of smell thanks to the presence of different varieties of herbs, including the truly widespread bear garlic. You will be able to discover rare and protected plants and flowers such as the Piedmont Gladiolus and spot a lot of birds or animals that are now rare such as fireflies or wild, such as deer and roe deer as well as hear their singing or their characteristic cries.
