Agriculture:
The agriculture in Longano is mainly produced during the summers when families plant and pick potatoes and a variety of vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, and corn.
Around mid November, olives start being picked for the production of olive oil. Every family has their own piece of land around the town or on the mountains and they wait until the olives are mature enough to be picked and then send them to the oil mill to be processed and ultimately have the fresh tasting extra virgin olive oil Italy is known for.
