Toscana

Land, people, food and hospitality weave inseparably in Tuscany. To produce, cook, serve, and invest in food are all hard job with long hours and no days off (eecailly March to December). The people on these "industries" are have passions, not jobs. They bring personality, perseverance, intelligent, humor, and commitment to make the world a better place. Today we met butchers including one of the few woman butchers, a woman Veterinarian with cashmere goats, and restaurateurs who are the social centers of their villages. This is Slow Food- local, sustainable, building their communities.
