AgryCult

My name is Carlo Zaccaria.

I was born in Biella on  December 16th 1973. From then on I’ve been living in Salussola, a small town located in a particular territory extremely suited for rice, called the Baraggia. I’ve been living ever since in a farmhouse in the midst of our rice fields in a landscape that, in certain times of the year, takes  very suggestive appearances. I studied many years, graduated in Biological Sciences, but rice marked my entire working life. My family has always been committed to agriculture. Since I was a child I have taken the first steps as a farmer  on the very same rice fields where nowadays I carefully cultivate  the finest rices of the Italian tradition. Farming is hard work, constant and that doesn’t allow you tricks.You’ve got to understand, love and respect it, because only the personal satisfaction can compensate the pitfalls of a profession often linked to incomprehensible market rules.
