Agriculture

The Fattoria di Grenne is located 200 meters above sea level and is exposed to the north, while it is sheltered from the winds of sirocco and west .
 
This allows the olive groves of Minuta, Nasitana, Castriciana, Verdello and Nocellara Messinese to produce annually.
 
The olive trees are pruned in rotation and the harvest of the olives is started when the olive is not fully ripe to maintain the acidity of almost zero.

Fruit trees are also cultivated, now rare, such as the rowan, the strawberry tree, the jujube , the sour cherry and the black fig.
 
Seasonal vegetables are grown, favoring crops that need little water to ensure flavor, vitamins and minerals and are transformed into jams, compotes, pests and jams.
 
Chili jam and chili pesto together with cucumber compote are the flagship of the production.
 
"The greater the share of the capital of a country that is employed in agriculture, the greater will be the amount of productive work that it will put into operation in the country; and the greater will also be the value that its employment adds to the annual product of the earth and the work of society." (Adam Smith)
 
 
Quince jelly and strawberry trees in syrup are also very popular.
