The almond orchard grows

How does an almond orchard begin?

An almond orchard doesn’t begin the day the trees are planted. It begins much earlier: with an understanding of the land, careful preparation and respect for the seasons.

Il terreno prima degli interventi di preparazione, con i mezzi sullo sfondo

Agrosarda’s almond orchard spans several plots of land around Bassacutena. We are currently preparing a new plot that has remained unused for several years.

The work begins with the land. We remove stones, shape the slopes to prevent waterlogging and install a drainage system. These essential steps create the best conditions for the young trees to take root and grow.

The images show our machinery at work and the beginning of a journey we want to share, step by step: from preparing the soil and planting the trees to their growth and first blossom.

The story of this new plot of land begins here.

Preparing the drainage system

Preventing waterlogging protects the roots and creates more balanced conditions for the young trees to grow.
