So good we did it twice!

We enjoyed the market tour and cooking school so much we did it again the following week. The team were so friendly and hospitable and showcased some amazing food. The setting in the olive grove for the cooking school was so relaxing and picturesque.

Small group of hardy agri-historians-hands -on learning experience.

These folks are doing something I found to be very important. Authentic, feet-on-the-ground organic farming, reclamation of heirloom seedlines, varieties of herbs, flowers, vegetables and fruit.
