Firenze
Siamo Ilaria e Sergio (1979), e gestiamo la nostra azienda agricola distante 2 km dall’abitato di Pelago. Un autobus con fermata all’ingresso della nostra fattoria sulla strada provinciale 85, collega più volte al giorno con Firenze (25km in 40’). Pontassieve (6km) e’ la più vicina stazione per un treno. Abbiamo un approccio ecologico e siamo circondati da un bosco dove e’ facile vedere caprioli, cinghiali, lepri e altri animali selvatici. L’azienda è certificata biologica e ci stiamo convertendo all’agricoltura sinergica e presto anche biodinamica. In 24 ettari abbiamo, oltre al bosco, olivi, vigna, molti alberi da frutta, 3 orti (uno sinergico), un grande giardino intorno alla casa. Abbiamo anche 5 cani, 3 galline, 4 capre, ognuno con un nome e un posto nella famiglia e nessun obbligo, da parte loro, di produrre carne o latte. Durante tutto l’anno ci occupiamo della manutenzione di tutto quanto sopra. Pacciamiamo gli orti, seminiamo e trapiantiamo le piante da orto autoprodotte o acquistate da rivenditori biologici. Produciamo e vendiamo olio extravergine di oliva, vino, frutta, verdura e miele. Facciamo compost e differenziamo i rifiuti che produciamo. Irrighiamo per goccia a goccia. Per riscaldarci usiamo nostra legna e pellet che compriamo. Ilaria è vegetariana, Sergio no. Siamo disponibili a cucinare vegano. Mangiamo i prodotti del nostro orto, mentre quando compriamo, scegliamo essenzialmente prodotti biologici. Ci piace condividere la casa e le nostre abitudini. Ospitiamo in una stanza della casa in cui viviamo, in un comodo divano-letto per circa 7 giorni, ma prendiamo in considerazione altre richieste. Scriviamo e parliamo in inglese.
******************************
We are Ilaria and Sergio (1979), and we manage our farm 2 km which is 2km from the town of Pelago. A bus stop at the entrance of our farm on the provincial road 85, connects several times a day with Florence (25 km in 40'). Pontassieve (6 km) is the nearest train station. We have an ecological approach and we are surrounded by a forest where it is easy to see deer, wild boar, hares and other wild animals. The farm is certified organic and we are converting to synergistic and soon biodynamic farming. In 24 hectares we have, in addition to the forest, olive trees, vineyard, many fruit trees, 3 vegetable gardens (one synergistic), a large garden around the house. We also have 5 dogs, 3 chickens, 4 goats, each with a name and a place in the family and no obligation on their part to produce meat or milk. Throughout the year we take care of the maintenance of all the above. We mulch the vegetable gardens, sow and transplant the vegetable plants that are self-produced or purchased from organic retailers. We produce and sell extra virgin olive oil, wine, fruit, vegetables and honey. We compost and sort the waste we produce. We irrigate by a drip drio system. For heating we use our own wood and pellets that we buy. Ilaria is vegetarian, Sergio is not. We are willing to cook vegan. We eat the produce from our vegetable garden, while when we buy, we essentially choose organic products. We like to share the house and our habits. Accommodation is in a room of the house where we live, with a comfortable sofa bed for about 7 days, but we consider other requests. We write and speak in English.

I only came to stay for a couple of days in mid-February, but it was so lovely and warm and welcoming, I loved working in the olive tree plantation and wine cellar with Sergio, and of cause I loved the gang of dogs and the great food and the atmosphere up in the misty mountains.
I would definitely come back for more and recommend everyone else to do the same!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour chez Ilaria et Sergio.
Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis. Nous avions une chambre dans la maison principale, et nous partagions tous les repas avec Ilaria et Sergio. Nous avons vécu des moment très conviviaux.
Nos hôtes ont toujours été attentifs à ce que nous nous sentions bien et que nous ne manquions de rien. Nous avons également très bien mangé, et en tant que Français, beaucoup appris sur la façon de vivre en Toscane et en Italie.
Nous avons travaillé à désherber les oliviers puis appris à tailler les vignes de la ferme (nous sommes reconnaissant que nos hôtes nous aient fait confiance pour ce travail délicat). Le travail n’est pas toujours facile, mais exécuté dans un cadre magnifique. La vue est remarquable.
Sergio et Ilaria ont été vigilants à ce que nous ne travaillons pas plus que ce que la Charte du WWOOFing préconise.
Nous recommandons très vivement cette ferme.
Merci pour tout !!!

Amaziiiiiing ☺️✨
It was my first time wwoofing, and Ilaria and Sergio were wonderful hosts ! Their farm breathes a really warm and benevolent atmosphere, and they greet you with delicious fresh food, kind smiles and playful dogs. Regarding work, they adapt your skills (I had none lol) and let you do what you prefer :)
I would recommend 100% this experience. Thank you again Ilaria and Sergio for everything !!
