Tenuta Manchi, organic animal husbandry.
The agricultural company Tenuta Manchi is located in Caccamo, a beautiful medieval village in the province of Palermo, in the heart of the San Leonardo hills, amidst olive groves that gradually thin out, giving way to pastures, wheat fields and oak forests. The Muscia cousins decided to carry on the family's livestock farm and focus on goat breeding, creating a sustainable business that not only produces top-quality organic dairy products but also enhances and enriches the area. The cheeses produced are named after the districts where the pastures are located, emphasising the strong link between the company's activity and the land. The company also recovers traditional Sicilian cheese recipes and reworks them according to modern production techniques. The entire production chain is managed in-house by Tenuta Manchi: from the harvesting of hay to the rearing of goats, kids, cattle and calves, to the production, sales and marketing of the cheeses.
Thanks to the RDP, the farm has built an automated goat house, installing two state-of-the-art feeding belts. In addition, Tenuta Manchi has been able to build a milking parlour, dairy facilities, and a photovoltaic panel system that covers a large part of the farm's energy needs. The RDP interventions have also made it possible to manage the breeding of goats and cows in a totally organic way that also respects the ancient traditions of the Caccamese area.
