THE FARM
The farm La Camilla in Concorezzo raises cows, horses, sheep, farm animals, bees and grows plants, fruits, berries and vegetables. All products are used in the farmhouse refreshment. Gourmet jams, shortbread cookies, chocolate liqueur and honey are available for sale.
HORSES
The farm rears foals from broodmares “Italian saddle”.
The mares have a space suitable for their needs, taking advantage of the paddocks available to them where they can freely move from the stable to the open spaces. The foals are bred in order to be trained in the obstacle jumping and dressage disciplines that are taught in the equestrian school “Le Torri” located at the Concorezzo farm.
The stables account for heads of different races used in addition to the above-described purposes, also depending on their morpho-attitudinal characteristics. In particular, Hungarians and Murges are fit for attacks. The Andalusians are instead employed in Spanish high school performances.
THE BRIDING
All farm animals are bred with completely natural foods: hay, barley and oats.
HEIFERS
The farm also breeds Croissant, Charolaise, Limousine and Viandeux bulls and hoardings, feeding their food in order to bring to the table a product of the highest quality, guaranteed and certified.
The menus of the farmhouse La Camilla therefore include precious cuts of its own production, ranging from ribs to fillets, from stews to roasts, from scallops to entrecote.
BRIANZA SHEEP
The farm La Camilla participates, with the breeding of sheep and rabbits, in a project promoted by the Province of Monza and Brianza for the reintroduction of the Brianza sheep in the territory, valuable sheep at risk of extinction.
The sheep come from farms accredited by the association Pecora Brianzola di Galbiate (LC) established in 1999. The association promotes the knowledge, diffusion and breeding of this breed in order to safeguard and enhance a unique and unrepeatable genetic resource linked to the territory of Brianza and its peoples.
The Brianza sheep, linked to the alpine sheep meat group, was present until recently in the triangle between Como, Lecco and Monza.
The size and the structure give the breed the qualities of great strength, sturdiness and rusticity that give the meats a delicate and non-wild flavor.

AVIARY
Almost all the colorful animals hosted by the farmhouse La Camilla in Concorezzo are adopted by the Brianza territory. From the noisy Cocorite to the Gropponi, from the parrots funny with the tuft in the head of diamond-shaped swords, the aviary hosts protected species originating in Australia. From Africa come the round, deep-eyed parrots, from India peacocks and bengals, a kind of small sparrow from the vermilion beak.
There is no shortage of American squirrels who, timid and reserved as they are today, have become the first to welcome those who carry a yarn, unlike their much smaller and stubborn Japanese cousins who are not easily shown. Then there are the adorable dwarf bunnies and the “lion’s head”, the ram rabbits with the pendulous ears and the angel’s ears. From Italy come doves, pheasants, horns and quail.
Almost all the animals are well set up and it is proven by the fact that they reproduce easily and every little being has a nickname that the kids give to their new friends when they come to visit him. Kids can have fun discovering birdwatching and all the observation techniques of these beautiful animals.
VIVARIUM
