Tuscany owes its wealth and its origins from the land. Extremely fertile green hills on which almost everything is cultivated. There is a naturally mild climate in spring and summer whilst it is rainy in autumn; in addition, its particular geographical position has made Tuscany an exceptionally fertile and generous location.
Every authentic farmhouse has its own kitchen garden where delicious tomatoes, courgettes, carrots and black kale. It is actually the black kale that is the main ingredient of a typical Tuscan soup, the "ribollita". The only real danger for gardens and vegetable plots are the many wild animals present in the area
