Why is our Organic Life Style so Important for us?

After spending more than 12 years in the petroleum industry, (as a geologist and geophysicist) working and living in various countries around the globe, we - Mario and Tine - felt the need to settle down, to improve the quality of our lives and to focus on what was important to us. A happy and healthy family life. 

Having two children (at the time 2 and 4 years of age), we did not want them to grow up rootless, lacking a national culture (being of mixed origin to start with) and having to change schools every two or three years. Children needs stability and roots - so we decided to give them this by moving back to the family farm Villa Stabbia in August 2002.

We wanted our children, Lau and Loke, to live and grow up here at Villa Stabbia in close harmony with nature, with the actual presence of their parents and in contact with the older generation. The farm consists of several houses, where Nonna and Nonno (Italian for grandmother and grandfather) live on one side and Mormor and Onkel (Danish for grandmother and uncle) lives on the other side. 

Though our dear little Loke is no longer with us, he will always be our little son and part of our family. 

The organic principle has always been an integral part of the way Villa Stabbia has been run, with it being close to self-sufficient with vegetables and fruits. Although the farm has been organically driven for many years, we decided to get it certified in 2002. 

Even though organically farming is more expensive and yields a smaller production, it is vital to our philosophy of living a simple life, follow the true rhythm of nature whilst preserving our environment for future generations.
