The highlands above Verchiano and Volperino are areas of high agricultural vocation, a typical activity for all the valley areas in the Foligno mountains, and especially the large plains of Colfiorito. By observing the landscape, one may easily notice the square patches of cultivated fields, with their ever-changing seasonal colors.
Legumes are mostly grown in the highlands of the Foligno mountains: lentils, which have always been known and appreciated, the local variety of “cicerchie”, beans and chickpeas. There are also numerous cereal crops such as wheat, barley and especially spelt. A much-appreciated typical product of the Colfiorito plain is the "Red Potato of Colfiorito", which has also been recognized as a European IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) farm product.
The territory of the highlands is also rich in pastures for livestock, with a consequent production of excellent meats, milk and dairy products, completing the panorama of a rich and varied agri-food offer.
