Hombre Farm was established and developed during the early eighties, starting with just from a handful of cows and about 20 hectares of land. The farm soon flourished and grew quickly from a simple part-time activity for owner Umberto Panini (he initially wanted to make an outstanding Parmigiano for his family and friends), to a consolidated, full-time business. In next to no time it became a dairy showcase and was clearly set to become the sizeable farm it is today.
The farm's progress was unstoppable due to Umberto's uncompromising standard and unflinching willingness to finance only the best equipment and farming methods. Every new situation tackled was handled with such success that, at the beginning of 1994, it was decided that the farm should make the expensive conversion to 100% organic agriculture, integrated with the application of strict production quality standards.
