Near Chianni we rented a lovely farm. Surrounding the farm-house there are olive groves, vineyards, an orchard, pastures and crops, which are home to the rare Amiatina donkey. There is over 50 acres of woodland, which also belong to the farm and are criss-crossed by the recently-restored ancient tracks of the charcoal burners, which lead to the yards where they used to make coal. We made Tuscan dishes with the farm’s products. This farm also produces organic extra-virgin olive oil, white and red wine, honey, jams, tomato purees, mushrooms, tomatoes and artichokes in oil, spices. All I can say is yum.....
