Farming - Siena, Toscana, Italy
Podere La Fonte is a working farm as well as tourist residence ("Podere" is Italian for farm). The main products are olives and grapes which are grown organically and made into wine and olive oil on the farm. The wine and oil may be purchased from the farm shop and is both delicious and good value. Emmanuela also creates herbal tea infusions and a number of jams from the fruit trees on the farm. The Podere is a good location to tour Tuscany and Chianti. The cities of Siena, Florence and Pisa are easily accessible for a day trip as well as many other smaller towns and villages (a lot of these offer wine tasting). Personally, we recommend the towns of Montepulciano and San Gimignano as not to be missed. One can also reach the picturesque Tuscan coastline for day trips and it is even possible to take a ferry to the island of Elba.
