We pay attention to detail.

In Cingoli and Castelplanio, in the Marche region, are located the Fileni plants - IFS, UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 and UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 certified - where product processing takes place. Every day, in compliance with legal standards, structures and machinery are inspected and sanitised to ensure they are always efficient. In addition, the processing of products from the organic supply chain takes place on days and at times strictly established to avoid any kind of contamination.

We are committed to ensuring the very best for you.

You can trust the quality of our organic products because we thoroughly check them before they leave the farm. We monitor and test every step of the organic supply chain. We even check the soil on which we grow our feed for traces of pesticides and other impermissible substances. We do this to ensure the best quality and because it is what we believe in.

Growing in the green.

Fileni's organic farms are surrounded by greenery. To prevent them from abruptly breaking up the natural landscape around them, we have surrounded the sheds with plants and trees, among which the animals are free to roam, choosing when to live outdoors and when to shelter from the sun or the weather inside the structures.

These are equipped with the latest technology, so that they can reduce dust and odours without affecting the everyday life of the neighbouring population. In many cases, they are also able to produce electricity in a clean and efficient manner thanks to the use of photovoltaic panels.

From field to feeder.

Wheat, maize, soya, field beans and protein peas are the raw materials that make up the organic feed produced in our feed mill in Jesi, in the province of Ancona. A mix of legumes and cereals, organically grown, form the basis of a healthy, balanced diet for all chickens and turkeys in our organic supply chain.

But our commitment to agriculture goes further, in the belief that every virtuous action pays off. This is why we are participating on an experimental basis - as co-founders - in the ARCA project (Agricoltura per la Rigenerazione Controllata dell'Ambiente - Agriculture for the Controlled Regeneration of the Environment), conceived by Bruno Garbini with Giovanni Fileni and Enrico Loccioni, which is concerned with implementing regenerative farming techniques to preserve cultivated land, maintaining its fertility and protecting it from hydrogeological instability.

The first step into the Fileni world.

For the embryo to develop properly, we make sure to cuddle the newly laid eggs. We keep them warm, in the hatchery, for 21 days, three of which in the hatching chamber, constantly monitoring temperature and humidity.

Nature takes care of it.

“Well begun is half done,” as the saying goes. The first step, common to all supply chains, is of fundamental importance. We let nature guide the animals’ instincts. We do not force anything; we simply ensure they are provided with the ideal environment for reproduction, maintaining constant levels of temperature, humidity, and hygiene.

Temi principali

Liberi di pascolare.

I nostri bovini e suini nascono e vengono allevati biologicamente in Italia. Crescono liberi, seguendo il loro bioritmo naturale e un’alimentazione biologica con mangimi selezionati e formulati per offrire loro una dieta bilanciata, libera da OGM e sostanze chimiche non ammesse.

Rigeneriamo la terra.

Ogni azione virtuosa ritorna. È il principio alla base della nostra visione circolare dell’intera filiera.

È per questo che partecipiamo al progetto ARCA (Agricoltura per la Rigenerazione Controllata dell’Ambiente), ideato da Bruno Garbini con Giovanni Fileni ed Enrico Loccioni, che si preoccupa di mettere in atto tecniche di agricoltura rigenerativa che consentono di preservare il terreno coltivato, mantenendone la fertilità e proteggendolo dal dissesto idrogeologico.
Operiamo ogni giorno per costruire filiere di eccellenza, diffondere buone pratiche sulla concimazione organica, la conservazione della biodiversità e per garantire al consumatore un prodotto sano e sostenibile.

Processing facilities.

The facilities dedicated to processing poultry products, located in Cingoli and Castelplanio (in the Marche region) and certified IFS, UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 and UNI EN ISO 14001:2015, are inspected daily according to a control plan to ensure compliance with legal standards.

Equipment and machinery undergo frequent cleaning and sanitization processes to guarantee maximum efficiency at all times.

Trust in our commitment.

No product from our conventional poultry supply chain leaves the company unless we are absolutely certain of its quality!

This assurance comes from the laboratory tests we regularly carry out at every stage of the supply chain: from the soil, to the finished feed, all the way to the nutritional value our products provide in your diet.

The level of quality we demand requires extreme precision, fostering the creation of high standards and driving the entire sector to continuously improve—for shared well-being.

Out of the shell.

Once laid, the eggs are kept in the hatchery for 21 days, including 3 days in the hatching chamber. In this phase as well, the balance between hygiene, temperature, and humidity is essential to ensure proper embryo development.

Technology for better growth.

Fileni’s conventional farms are mainly located in Central Italy, in the regions of Marche, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, and Puglia.

Chickens are reared on the ground in state-of-the-art facilities equipped with systems to reduce odors and dust, ensuring no disturbance to nearby communities. Many of our company-owned farms are also equipped with photovoltaic panels for electricity generation.

Good, wholesome feed.

Feeding the animals in our conventional supply chain properly is the most important thing we can do for their health—and yours.

We ensure they follow a correct and balanced diet made up of cereals, legumes, minerals, and other nutrients. To achieve this, we work with veterinarians who define the variety and proportions, and we produce the feed directly in our own feed mills to ensure they receive only the very best.

A matter of instinct.

Without the breeding sector, our conventional supply chain could not exist. Here, animals are able to reproduce following their natural instinct. For this reason, we devote the utmost attention to these environments, maintaining constant levels of temperature, humidity, and hygiene at all times.
