Italian term or phrase: Una metà del cuore… e l’altra metà
This is a website for an organic farm. I'm struggling to find a good translation for this. It's talking about the couple who run the farm. One half of the couple or team is the best I can come up with. Any better suggestions? To make it a bit more romantic?

on one side, the core is... on the other side, the core is


Explanation:
I would use this expression, because this Metà del Cuore may have a double meaning, for Couple, and for Core of the business.
In this context, i think it refers more to the business, but in the end core of the business and core of the couple are the same here, though, which is a plus.
my opinion.
