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, attuiamo pratiche di permacultura, e il nostro intento è quello di avere massimo rispetto dell’ambiente che ci ospita. In 24 ettari abbiamo, oltre al bosco, olivi, vigna, molti alberi da frutta, 3 orti, un grande giardino intorno alla casa. Al momento fanno parte della nostra famiglia anche 4 cani e molte galline. 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 il 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. Progetti in corso: Oliveto/Olio Evo, Vigneti/Vino, Api, Frutta, Orto in permacultura, Galline, Bosco, Edilizia/manutenzione, Ortaggi ****************************** 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, we practice permaculture, and our aim is to have the most respect for the environment that hosts us. In 24 hectares we have, in addition to the forest, olive trees, vineyard, many fruit trees, 3 vegetable gardens, a large garden around the house. Our main products are extra virgin olive oil and wine, then we also produce and sell honey, fruit and vegetables. 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 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. At the moment, our family also includes 4 dogs and many chickens. Ilaria is vegetarian, Sergio is not. We are available to cook vegan. We eat the produce from our vegetable garden, while when we buy, we choose primarily organic products. We enjoy sharing our home and our habits. We host in a room in the house where we live, on a comfortable sofa bed for about seven days, but we welcome other requests. We write and speak English. Current projects: Olives grove/Evo oil, Vineyards/Wine, Bees, Fruits, Permaculture Garden, Chickens, Woodland, Building/maintenance, Vegetables

There are no words to fully describe the wonderful experience we had on this farm. Sergio and Ilaria are incredibly warm and kind people, and their smiles never fade. I spent two unforgettable weeks with them and their lovely dogs. The farm is located in a beautiful area of Pelago, with truly stunning views. During my stay, I learned a great deal about vineyards and gained valuable hands-on experience. Their cooking was exceptional, and I had the chance to taste many delicious local dishes. Grazie mille to them for this unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this place.

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 !!!
