The farm covers about 10 hectares, partly wooded. The prevailing activity isbeekeeping, conducted using organic farming methods. The area is rich in pristine acacia and chestnut forests, which provide bees with abundant blooms for the production of single-flower honeys of high purity. Beekeeping also offers the other products of the hive, such as pollen and royal jelly, and delicious hazelnut. Other products of the farm are extra virgin oliveoil, vegetables, saffron, and extra jams . In the fields grow wild rosehips and blackberry brambles, elderberry plants, and many phytoalimurgical wild herbs that are used in cooking. The farm is expanding, and some of the projects include the creation of a lavandeto and a planting of small fruits such as currants, raspberries, blueberries and gooseberries, as well as the planting of some hazelnuts, in addition to other fruit trees and native Tuscan plants. Cultivation methods follow the natural principles of plant growth, respecting their life cycle, without the use of chemicals.
