Regenerative farm tour and fermentation workshop

Learn about fermentation and sustainable agriculture at Fattoria Bucolica, an urban farm where my family produces olive oil, wheat, eggs, aromatic herbs, jams, pickled vegetables, and creative drinks. During this hands-on workshop, I’ll show you how to make some of our seasonal ferments—and we’ll taste our creations, of course. • We’ll start with a farm tour, where I’ll show you how my brother and I approach regenerative and organic agriculture. • Next, we’ll gather in the farmhouse for a demonstration of seasonal ferments featuring Tuscan flavours. • We’ll taste three traditional appetizers, reinvented through fermentation, alongside three fermented drinks such as wine and kombucha. You’ll gain new fermentation skills and an appreciation of how young Tuscan farmers are adopting creative new approaches to agriculture. If you’d like to buy any of Fattoria Bucolica’s products, you’re welcome to visit the farm shop before you go!

MY FARM three experiences in one day

Immerse yourself in the Tuscan countryside with 3 different experiences! We'll meet in Florence, where a driver will take you to our farm in just 45 minutes.

 You may even meet our friendly, domesticated pig! In September taste the grapes! 2) Visit the cellar and taste 5 organic Tuscan wines: white, red, aged straight from the barrel, and "Vin Santo" a classic sweet wine. You’ll also sample our premium olive oil and watch a short film about our mission. You'll have the chance to purchase wines at exclusive cellar prices or order them to ship. 3) The final part is all about making fresh pasta! Raffaella or Laura will teach you how to craft it using authentic techniques, then cook all your pasta together (it won't be possible to do individual cooking) to enjoy it as a group at a long table, just like a traditional Italian family. Our organic wine will accompany the meal. We'll be around 20 participants for an authentic Italian experience.
