After walking over 9 miles thru Rome yesterday, I am leaving this morning and will be starting my organic farming career. Even after spending many hours researching to make sure I had the type of farms and people that I could be comfortable living with for two weeks, I am still somewhat apprehensive. I used an organization called World Wide Organization of Organic Farms (Wwoof). Although it has more than 300 farms listed, it does not guarantee the safety or the type of farm. My criteria was that it must have a website so I can view the farm and it must have either a training or agritourism registration with Italian government. Not sure any of that really matters. Whatever!
The first farm is in the Tuscany region and produces olive oil and bread. Viola is picking me up in Grosseto. Grosseto is on the coast a short distance from Siena. I will be giving you an update this evening. Arrivederci!
