About a year and a half ago I went on a adventure beyond adventures. I left my job at a specialty Italian food importer to return to Italy and learn what “farm to table” really meant. For three months I worked on an agriturismo in Tuscany. An agriturismo is a form of hospitality on a farm, be it a hotel, villa, farmhouse(s) ecc. that helps sustain the farm as well as educate the guests. They can range from exquisite to very rustic. Do your research before you go to one, but certainly experience one if you can.
So here I present a series of pictures with memories and recipes to accompany them. I’ll start with some farm friends! They were adorable and tasty!
