About Trepunti
The Trepunti farm is surrounded by mountains and the sea, and the highest active volcano in Europe, Mount Etna, can already be seen on the farm. Therefore, the soil on the farm contains a lot of minerals that help crops grow, which is very suitable for fruit growth.
The farmer, Jennifer, is a girl from Hong Kong who is married to a Sicilian farmer. She pays great attention to the food safety and quality of fruits and vegetables. In order to pursue higher quality fruits and vegetables, she began to learn how to cultivate organic fruits and vegetables. Jennifer and his wife, who like Hong Kong very much, opened an online store in Hong Kong in 2019 in order to allow the public in Hong Kong to enjoy the high-quality fruits and vegetables of Sicily, and bring high-quality Sicilian fruits and vegetables to Hong Kong citizens.

Some fate between Jennifer and Hong Kong is left because of food; the fate of her with Sicily is sprouted by food.
She went to Italy to find her own life and met Guido, a Sicilian farmer (now her husband). He and his father owned a small organic orchard in Sicily, where dozens of varieties of fruits were grown. Through their farming life, they build communities with like-minded people that are complementary to each other. Although farming in Sicily is not easy, the orchards have to face endless problems, not only to prevent thieves in the town and dealing with bureaucratic taxes, but also to face the seasons when the weather is not as expected, and even the problems of the agricultural mafia.
Facing the impact of agriculture and other parts of Italy. They take advantage of consumers' opaque approach to the product supply chain, piracy, cutting corners, stealing fake labor, etc., which are very serious to local small farmers. We cannot rely on the government to protect farmers. As a result, farmers have established communities, established relationships with local and foreign customers, increased the supply chain, increased revenue, and allowed consumers to distance themselves from product sources and production, or visit the farms in person to understand farmers’ wishes and methods.
Therefore, they brought their own Sicilian livestock to Hong Kong, hoping to share the Sicilian agricultural products with everyone, and also share the food with everyone.
