    Description

    We live in the middle of a chestnut grove located in an ancient 19th century village at an altitude of 750 meters in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. We are a relatively new group of about 10 people of all ages and backgrounds, we devote ourselves to the self-production of vegetables, fruit, wild fruit and herb picking, honey and chestnut flour depending on the season the picking activities vary. We also do handicrafts and wooden constructions.
