Joinfruit was born from an encounter made up of passion and friendship: the passion for agriculture, and the decades-long friendship of the two founding partners, Eraldo Barale e Michele Ponso.
Eraldo and Michele have been immersed in fruit growing since childhood, and have always been involved in their own companies - Sanifrutta and Ponso respectively - operating in the province of Cuneo. Starting from shared values, such as the respect for and enhancement of the environment and the territory, the commitment to good agricultural practices, the desire to bring excellent quality products to the market, and the desire to face new challenges in a transversal manner through the contribution of several subjects, the idea of joining forces in the Joinfruit project was born, which saw the light in 2016.
Over the years, other companies joined Eraldo and Michele and their dream of creating a community of farmers working in synergy by pooling skills, knowledge and experience: Nature Grow, Maero Fruit, Coofruit, Agrimunda, Cofruits and Cooperativa Agricola Biodiffusione Canavese.
Today Joinfruit consists of about 250 members producing fruit and vegetables in Piedmont, Veneto, Emilia Romagna, Marche, Valle D'Aosta and Lazio, using the tools and opportunities provided by the structured cooperation of the Producers' Organisation to face the challenges of a new agriculture together.
OUR PRESENT AND OUR FUTURE
Every day is a chance to be better than yesterday.
The present and the future of our organisation are inextricably linked: everyday life feeds the momentum towards tomorrow, because all our farmers are close to their roots, but always have their eyes on the future.
This means preserving and enhancing one's history and territory, but also being naturally innovative, choosing cutting-edge solutions and experimenting with a new look at the way we are farmers.
