Our Olive Oil
Around 200 olive trees grow on our hills, most of them Castiglionese, a rare variety from the village right next to Bisenti. Our horses graze beneath the trees, we use no synthetic sprays, and every olive is harvested by hand by our family.
This season we are bottling our very first extra virgin olive oil.

Our Story
L'altalena farm
L'altalena is Italian for swing. Our farm in Abruzzo is named after the swings hanging in the pine trees in our garden. Take a seat on the swing and experience an exceptional view on the Gran Sasso mountains.
Our vision is to transform a traditional mixed farm, previously focused on animals and crops, into a regenerative farm. Here, we’ll cultivate a food forest and practice regenerative horse breeding, all while embracing sustainable farming methods. We're also excited to welcome guests to our agriturismo, where they can experience the harmony of nature and learn more about our journeys.

Worldschooling
Our family went on a life-changing cycling adventure, traveling from the Netherlands to Italy with our young children. This incredible journey not only brought us closer to nature but also deepened our appreciation for learning through real-world experiences. Inspired by this, we warmly welcome families who practice worldschooling or homeschooling. At L'Altalena Farm, we offer a space where children and parents can learn from nature, connect with the land, and enjoy the freedom of learning in beautiful Abruzzo.
