“Aquest disseny implica seguir un ordre meticulós que traça un entramat de línies perfectes. La funcionalitat, que neix de la necessitat i de l’orografia inevitable, dona lloc a una harmonia entre el conreu i l’entorn en què s’ubica. La mirada i l’obra del pagès configuren el paisatge.
El començament, però, ve de més lluny.
La terra conreada és herència d’una civilització antiga de la qual encara formem part. Hi va haver un seguit d’homes i dones que dècades i segles enrere, ves a saber quants, van posar els peus, les mans, l’esforç i el temps al mateix lloc que ara nosaltres trepitgem i conreem. Uns en ser els primers que van començar a transformar la terra salvatge en terra treballada i uns altres, molts, els van seguir. Tots ells en ser els que van marcar el començament, els que van fer les primeres feixes i els primers bancals, els que van treure les pedres per fer els primers marges, els amb què la terra preparada van aprendre a cultivar a base de proves i encerts.”
