Cascine Aperte - Marta Sempio Agricultural Company

Farmhouses Open to Visitors

During the weekend of Benvenuti in Lomellina, the major widespread event that enlivens the rice-growing lands every spring, the Marta Sempio Agricultural Company in Valeggio (province of Pavia) participates in the 'Cascine Aperte' (Open Farmhouses) initiative. It is one of the most evocative moments of the festival: the doors of the farms open wide to welcome the curious, families, and country enthusiasts.

Rice Takes Center Stage

During the visit, you can meet the producers, see up close the rice cultivation techniques that characterize this part of the Pavia plain, and buy the company's products directly. Lomellina is one of Italy's rice-growing hearts, and 'Cascine Aperte' allows you to experience firsthand this agricultural identity made of water, rice paddies, and ancient knowledge.

Part of Benvenuti in Lomellina

The event is part of the 'Benvenuti in Lomellina' program, promoted by GAL Risorsa Lomellina with the support of Regione Lombardia, Fondazione Monte di Lombardia, and Fondazione Cariplo. Three days of guided tours, open farms, local festivals, and historical re-enactments spread across farmhouses, villages, and rice paddies in the province of Pavia.

A Dive into the Lomellina Countryside

Visiting the Marta Sempio farmhouse in Valeggio means discovering the rural landscape of Lomellina, made of rows of crops, springs, and expanses of water that reflect the sky in spring. An ideal experience for those who want to combine knowledge of the territory with the pleasure of genuine products directly from the producer.
