Who we are
About the farm
Above Mercatale di Cortona, on the hills between Tuscany and Umbria at 600 metres, we have been farming since 1974; the original 10 hectares have grown into a 100-hectare organic farm, including 9 hectares of olive grove and 60 hectares of oak coppice. We grow vegetables, fruit, chestnuts, cereals, extra virgin olive oil, medicinal herbs and flowers, and deliver firewood on request. We sell our products in our shop on the SS 416 road in Sant’Andrea di Sorbello and cook them in our Le Capannine restaurant, and we also offer agriturismo accommodation in the old farmhouse.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
