Our origins and our future

The company was founded in the immediate post-war period by grandfather Gianni who dedicated himself with love and passion to the organic cultivation of the family lands. Those were times in which cultivation was done to support the family, the methods were tiring and people were driven by hunger and need but also by a lot of passion.

After being entrusted to Ferdinando who transformed it from a family dimension to that of an "agricultural enterprise", today the company is led by Giovanni and many things have changed over time.

While drawing inspiration from agricultural and peasant traditions that are attentive to natural balance and the maintenance of biodiversity, the company has introduced a lot of technology and innovation into its way of cultivating citrus and olive groves to enhance healthy agricultural practices and get the best out of them.

Hoe

An engineer with a passion for agriculture but above all with an indissoluble bond with the history, places and traditions of the Riviera dei Gelsomini. Since he has been at the helm of the company, his activity has been inspired by the modernization of cultivation methods and the rediscovery of ancient practices and native varieties now abandoned.

Peppe, the soul

The personified representation of Agricola Arangara's philosophy: simple and genuine, a true man from another era with a great passion for our trees, cared for and checked every morning with love and dedication. He supervises the application of the specifications built with the experiences of three generations of farmers and modernized with the most current and innovative techniques.

Anna, the quality

Responsible for product quality and traceability, she follows the fruit from the fields to logistics to ensure the standards of ripeness and freshness. She is a bit of "The Commander" of the group but we all love her just the same.

Maria, the organization

In addition to putting up with Anna, she is the Logistics Manager. She carefully and meticulously prepares each package, making sure that everything is always in order and reaches our customers in the shortest possible time.

Mimmo, the pruner

His experience and expertise are vital in the company to have superior quality fruits. Correct pruning increases productivity and raises the quality of the product, decreasing the incidence of many diseases and parasites.

Camillo and Ettore, they should be the security

Two foundlings, loved at first sight and cuddled. Today they take care of night security in the fields, even if their favorite activity is still nibbling the pipes of the irrigation system. During the day they play and amiably disturb everyone's work.

Bees, Crickets and Other Nature's Paladins

All efforts would be useless without their support: they help us keep harmful insects at bay and maintain the balance between the fields in which we have built many small "bug hotels" in which they find shelter even in winter, becoming stable guests of our citrus groves.
