Organic Farm- Il Forteto!

Organic_farm

On October 5th, our SAI group traveled to an organic farm here in Tuscany, called Il Forteto. We got to go into the building where they store all of the cheeses that they make, and it was cool to see all of the different kinds! The people there were very nice and served us an AMAZING lunch after the tour of the farm. We got to the the Chianina cattle, which are huge! They were awesome to see up close. They also had Maremmano horses, which are used for races sometimes. As for the lunch, I tried so many types of cheeses and oh it was so delicious!!! They also had sausage and other things that they made at the farm, and it was definitely one of my favorite meals of Italy so far. Yay me for trying new foods! The picture attached is just a small sample of all the cheeses they had. Also you can see the cattle  and the group of us that went on the trip. I am on the left!
