Have you ever had a cow of your own or wanted to give one to someone you love? If the answer is yes, then you're a lucky person! If not, don't worry: you're not the only one.
In Valsugana, however, we have decided to give you the opportunity to realise this little dream by adopting a cow from afar. Don't panic, we don't want to send you a cow to keep in your garden, that would be too complicated.
You can choose the cow that suits you best from the various mountain huts participating in our project. During the grazing period between June and September, you will have the opportunity to visit the cow, spend time with her, get to know each other and collect the cheeses produced by her and her fellow cows. Once the formalities have been completed, we will provide you with the adoption certificate and the cow's identity card, documents that will prove your affection for the Valsugana, but above all so that you can enjoy her cheese.
The idea behind the ‘Adopt a cow’ project in Trentino comes from the heart: it may seem strange to you, but in reality we can do something big for the territory with a small action like this! In fact, adopting a cow means keeping the local crafts and traditions alive, allowing the mountain huts to continue the production and sale of local cheese, guaranteeing the cows proper treatment so that they can stay on the mountain pastures during the hottest periods and taking on the role of ‘natural guardians’ of our valleys.
