They were the dawn of the century ' 900 when a friar cappuccino, Padre Pancrazio, son of peasants of the gardens around Florence, re-united the agriculturists all' shadow of their winders, tearing them from theirs indefesso job in order to speak they about the Cooperation, the necessity to join in order to render more favorable, besides more human, the laborious job of the fields a group of brave of the families of the Bechi, Pinzani, Theater boxes, Salvatori, Turchini, Salani, Massetti, But, Calender, Luminosity, Mecocci, Parrini, Santoni, Basagli, Bellini, Lives, Dell' Aitante, made own those ideas and in 1903 it founded the first nucleus of that which it has become the Cooperativa Agricola di Legnaia. Many, shortly followed them to time, till to make to become the Cooperative the main point of reference of the producers of the fiorentino peasantry.

Beyond one hundred years they are passed: in this period of great events and transformations they have been born and died ideologies, regimes and empires are collapsed but l' idea of Cooperation is still alive more than ever.

To introduce the rhythm of the seasons and the nature, to be a point of encounter between the world of the production and that one of the consumption is one of our objectives.
