Il Ceppo Firenze is a home delivery service for local and seasonal food products, committed to promoting a short and transparent supply chain that connects producers directly with consumers. Founded with the goal of supporting and enhancing farms in the Tuscan region, Il Ceppo offers fruit, vegetables, dairy, meat, and other carefully selected fresh products, ensuring quality, freshness, and traceability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The service allows customers to personalize their own \u201cCeppo\u201d by choosing the delivery frequency and adding or excluding products according to their preferences. Deliveries are made directly to customers\u2019 homes, with particular attention to environmental impact and the promotion of eco-friendly transportation methods: 70% of the deliveries made in the municipality of Florence, are carried out using cargo bikes, with the goal of reaching 100% in the historic center of Bologna.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This model supports the local economy and promotes products that respect the natural rhythms of the land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il Ceppo represents a concrete alternative to large-scale distribution channels, offering a supply model based on quality, trust between producers and consumers, and practices that are respectful of the environment and the local community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
