The Farm Sentiero Azzurro is located in the Municipality of Vernazza, in Loc. Prevo, on the top of Sentiero Azzurro at 208 meters above sea level, in halfway between Corniglia and Vernazza, in the heart of the Cinque Terre National Park.

The company manages its own agricultural lands and also operates some under regular lease agreements. The land, covering over 4 hectares, is cultivated, with the company farming approximately 2 hectares of Utilized Agricultural Area (SAU).

The primary crops include olives, citrus fruits, field vegetables, vines, and various local fruit cultivars (such as corbezzoli, cherries, plums, apricots, figs, prickly pears, etc.) along with aromatic herbs.

These lands are cultivated in the Cinque Terre, which presents challenging orographic conditions due to the steep slopes exceeding 30%, and the lands are steeply inclined towards the sea, supported by the famous dry stone walls of the Cinque Terre, which the agricultural company maintains.
For all these reasons, we refer to this as heroic agriculture.
The produce is harvested and sold fresh or processed in the transformation laboratory located in the building that also serves as a sales point for both fresh and processed products.
The main processed agricultural products are citrus fruits, which are juiced to produce lemonade and orangeade: the juices are prepared on the spot and upon request (take away) without prior bottling operations.

In addition to these, there are fruit granitas and treated water flavored with fruit, local herbs such as basil, mint, and thyme, and with edible wildflowers typical of this area, such as borage, dandelion, violet, pimpinella, marigold, and so on.

Following the transformation, the juices, slushes, and flavored treated water are made available for on-site consumption without service (unassisted service). Other products such as preserves, fruit and vegetable juices, jams, and jellies, as well as sauces, beer, etc., will be sent for processing to a Specialized Third Laboratory.
