Fattoria di Vaira is instead one of the largest biodynamic farms in Italy with more than 500 hectares of land. Forty of these planted to vines. They also cultivate vegetables, grains and cereals. They produce cheese, olive oil and honey. They have received a degree of purity in their soils similar to 'wild soil' after years of biodynamic farming. They use cover crops, green manure, and compost from the cows on their farm, and use 500 and 501 preparation.
