La Terra e il Cielo

La Terra e il Cielo is an organic agriculture co-operative founded in 1980 in the Marche Region, Italy. It can be considered as one of the pioneer companies to invest in the field of Italian organic production. The co-operative incorporates 100 associate farms that contribute raw materials; many of them are located in the inland of the Marche and play a very important role in terms of environmental protection and sound rural development.

La Terra e il Cielo has an ethical structure based on:
Ecological approach,
Anti-GMO actions,
Democratic management,
Co-operative work,
Profits used for social purposes,
Support for small organic producers,
Fairtrade,
Social economy network promotion.

La Terra e il Cielo markets a wide range of certified products, such as pasta (spelt, wheat, kamut, corn, buckwheat), cereals, puffed spelt, extra virgin olive oil, tomato sauces, and - last but not least - our fairly traded "Caffé della Pace", directly imported from a Guatemalan co-operative of small scale Mayan producers and produced in collaboration with Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchù.
