Maria Assunta Tiberio

Pure organic breeding of Cashmere and Angora goats; organic Cashmere and Mohair yarns.

Sepino Cashmere was founded in 2016 on the initiative of breeder Maria Assunta Tiberio. The agricultural entrepreneur brought the first Angora and Cashmere goats to the slopes of the Matese National Park to establish an innovative company dedicated to the production of organic cashmere and mohair yarns. These luxuriously soft fabrics are produced through a completely artisanal process that extends from the collection of the fibres from the animals to the production of the balls of yarn. Sepino Cashmere also organises guided tours with experiential activities such as going out to the pastures and combing the goats. In addition to this, the Molise-based company also carries out long-distance adoption of breeding animals.

Thanks to funds from the Molise RDP, Sepino Cashmere has built a modern and environmentally-friendly barn for goats, equipped with a mechanised manger that allows organic fodder to be fed in pellet form via a mechanical belt fed by an external silo. Moreover, thanks to the installation of a thermal panel, the farm is able to have hot water on demand. The funded interventions have allowed Sepino Cashmere to move towards constant growth which, through internal reproduction, will lead it to reach 100 head of goats in the short term. The farm has also started long-distance adoption of goats and is moving towards the creation of an educational farm for schools and pet therapy activities.
