ADopt a legume field

By adopting a legume field, you will become a co-producer and your field will be marked with a plaque with your name.

Thanks to the content you will receive periodically, in one year you will experience all the most important moments of this traditional cultivation, right up to the making of your own legumes.

But remember: you can also decide to visit your corner of Sardinia in person, in agreement with the producer.

When they are ready, we will send you your stock of lentils, chickpeas, broad beans, white chickpeas, black chickpeas and chickpea flour. You can use them imaginatively in your recipes and enjoy them with pride.

But most of all, you will feel an even more special taste, given by the knowledge that you have seen them being born and growing.

• Certificate of adoption
• 1 kg white chickpeas
• 1 kg black chickpeas
• 1 kg chickpea flour

legume field ADOPTION FEATURES

The Mannos adoption can be done at any time. It lasts for one year, during which you will receive updates on the main production phases.  

These updates are provided as they take place and you will receive them from the moment you decide to adopt your legume field , so they may not necessarily be in their natural order. This allows you to live an authentic adoption experience that follows the seasonality of the production process.

The adoption products will be sent to you at the most suitable time, depending on the period in which you adopt your wheat field.

If you adopt between January and July, you will receive your products in November of the same year.
If you adopt between August and December, you will receive them in November of the following year.

PRODUCE YOUR OWN LEGUMES

Grow legumes remotely in Marmilla, entrusting the cultivation to the skilful hands of Elena and Gianpiero, who produce them in the open field and in a natural way, practising traditional techniques in full respect of the environment.

The main technique used is that of crop rotation, which involves changing, from one production cycle to the next, the agricultural species grown in the same plot, in order to improve and maintain the fertility of the agricultural soil and ensure a higher yield.

There is no ploughing or heavy tillage and wild grasses are used to keep the land fertile, productive and inhabited by antagonistic insects and animals that help protect the crops.

Thus we are sure that what we bring to our table will be a healthy and wholesome product.

Legumes are an important source of vegetable protein, fibre and minerals, with low calories and fat and are never missing from our tasty soups.
