About 24 types of culinary herbs are grown mainly in the hills owing to
the ideal climate. These crops are raised by a large number of family-owned
farms.
NATURAL FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
As some of the farms are located within the territory of the nature Park
Migliarino-San Rossore-Massaciuccoli, owners raise crops using new tecniques
that greatly reduce the use of chemicals and later sell them with the Park’s
trademark.
HONEY
Many beekeepers work in Massarosa’s territory because the particular
microclimate in the area is ideally suited to grow a large number of vegetable
species. Different types of honey are obtained: acacia, heather, lime, etc.
Local producers are members of the Tuscan Honey Association.
LOTUS FLOWERS
They are situated on the outskirts of Massarosa, the only producer on an
industrial scale. The swampy soil bordering the Migliarino-San Rossore-Massaciuccoli
Park is perfect for growing this kind of crop. |
