Agriturismo Camigliatello Fattoria Bio
About
Fattoria Biò is a family‑run organic farm that has been cultivated for four generations in the verdant highlands of the Sila plateau, near Camigliatello Silano in Calabria. The estate spans roughly 150 hectares, combining pasture land in the Sila mountains and a 50‑hectare orchard and olive grove in the Rossano coastline. Visitors can explore the full agricultural cycle—from roaming sheep and goats to milking cows for fresh cheeses, and harvesting wind‑grown potatoes, beans and aromatic herbs. Artisans on site produce a range of traditional Sicilian‑Calabrian foods, including hand‑made ricotta, pecorino, caciocavallo, prosciutto, and a menu of seasonal dishes featuring local beef, lamb, and meadow mushrooms. The farm offers guided tours and hands‑on workshops for children and adults alike, blending education and fun. Participants can watch cheese‑making, bread‑baking, and salami curing, and they can taste the products directly from the source. For those who want to stay, Fattoria Biò’s agritourism accommodations—from rustic farmhouses to nearby bed‑and‑breakfasts—provide a warm, immersive experience in rural Calabria. Dining at the on‑site restaurant is a celebration of Silan cuisine: a menu that changes with the seasons and highlights fresh, locally sourced meat, seafood, and vegetables. The menu features traditional dishes such as “cullurielli” (pork cured in salt), grilled fava beans, and creamy ricotta desserts, paired with regional wines. Special events—weddings, baptisms, and community gatherings—are held in the beautiful setting by lake Cecita, surrounded by forests of the Sila. With its blend of sustainable farming, culinary heritage, and community‑oriented programs, Fattoria Biò offers visitors an authentic taste of Calabrian life in a peaceful, scenic environment.
