produttori — Partinico · Sicilia
In the hills of the Palermo hinterland, at Partinico in Contrada Badia, Gaspare D'Arrigo has built a cattle farm dedicated entirely to the pure Limousine breed: a French breed, originally from the Limousin region, which here finds a second home in the Sicilian pastureland.
The farm is family-run: Gaspare D'Arrigo oversees every aspect of it with the care that only someone who works their own land every day can bring. The Limousine is a hardy, resilient breed, prized for its meat yield and for its ability to adapt to difficult terrain such as this.
The animals are raised free-range and semi-free-range: they grow up roaming the hillside pastures, in a system that respects the nature of the breed and ensures the wellbeing of the herd. One visitor review speaks of animals in excellent health, of cleanliness, and of a welcome that reflects the character of the farm.
The farm sells mature calves, young calves for restocking for those who wish to carry on the production cycle themselves, and breeding bulls intended for reproduction. The farm is affiliated with ANACLI — Associazione Nazionale Allevatori Limousine Italiani (National Association of Italian Limousine Breeders) — which manages the breed's herd book and certifies the purity of its selection, guaranteeing traceability and recognised genetic quality.
The full page for the farm includes direct contact details for Gaspare D'Arrigo, opening hours and all the information on the animals available for purchase.
