WHO WE ARE
The Melloni Farm is a family story: they have been looking after and promoting the heritage offered in the “Modenese” territory.
Being born in San Felice, in 1952 Mario Melloni was already cultivating a plot of land with fruit and vegetables, carrying on the peasant traditions of the time.
Today the whole family takes care of preserving that same sustainable production, encouraging a return to the land in the respect of the quality and the variety of ancient Fruits.
