    Description

    Hello, this is a new project of permaculture, sustainability and self-sufficiency on the Tuscan Apennines, in a farm surrounded by woods. The place is very wild and we are working to integrate it with cultivated plants and trees. We gather herbs, plant vegetables, shrubs and trees, work with wood, with food, with water with stones. From September an agroforestry will begin. The place is large and had been abandoned for 30 years and therefore the works are varied. There is a river and a nearby stream. There is also a small artisan chocolate production workshop ☺️

    Ciao, questo è un neo-progetto di permacultura, sostenibilità e autosufficienza sull'appennino toscano, in un podere circondato da boschi.
    Il posto è molto selvatico e stiamo lavorando per integrarlo con le piante e gli alberi coltivati.
    Si raccolgono le erbe, si piantano ortaggi, arbusti e alberi, si lavora col legno, col cibo, con l'acqua con le pietre.
    Da settembre si comincerà a creare un'agroforesta.
    Il posto è grande ed era abbandonato da 30 anni e quindi i lavori sono variegati.
    C'è il fiume e un ruscello vicino.
    C'è anche un piccolo laboratorio di produzione di cioccolato artigianale ☺️
