Join us for a day in the beautiful Tuscan countryside
with the animals and the farmers. Here is a chance to
see how they raise the beasts and cultivate the crops
in this wonderful landscape from which this fantastic
Italian cuisine is produced.
We have a number of farms that we can visit and we like
to give you a variety during your day out with us. You
give us an idea what you would like to see and we will
plan the day accordingly.
There are a couple of different farms that specialise
in Cheese. They produce Pecorino, which is made from sheep's
milk, and which is very traditional for this area. In
addition one or two farms also make cheese from goat's
milk. You will always have the opportunity to see the
animals, learn about how they make the cheese and then
have a tasting of the products.
One of our favourites is an organic farm where they are
almost self sufficient, producing cheese, salami, vegetables,
grain, pasta, and so the list goes on. With the help of
volunteers they raise the animals, tend the fields and
produce wonderful things to eat. We often have our lunch
here outside, overlooking the surrounding countryside.
One farm offers a 4 x 4 tour of the farm, where you will
see, amongst other things, the horse trekking centre,
the cattle, and the grain production. This is one of the
biggest producers of Wheat and Cereals in this area.
We often finish the day on one of the small family farms
in the area, where you will be up close to the Chianina
cattle, a Tuscan breed from which the famous Florentine
steak is produced. These delicate white cows have beautiful
big black eyes with eyelashes to die for! Come and see
for yourself!
Or maybe you'd like to see the local Cinta Senese pigs.
These black and white striped beasts are the source of
the Prosciutto, Salamis and other goodies that you will
find in all the delicatessen shops in the area.
So if the Country fascinates you come and see it up
close with us!
