Pea Picking, pea shelling & pasta preparation at the Farm

The green pea from the Berici Hills (Vicenza) is famous for its goodness. This activity for the entire family is a relaxing morning trying the real peas harvest from the vine. There’s nothing more delicious than the first tender peas, picked right off the vine, shelled and eaten raw!

A morning of Fattoria Didattica or “teaching farm” at the Agriturismo Da Sagraro Farm in Mossano – Berici Hills, dedicated to the local green peas. And at the end of the activity all sitting at the table to taste the fettuccine coi piselli just picked and cooked, course with good local wine.
