| Organic farm in the hills of Volterra |

Situated on the ominous hill between Volterra and Pomarance, the solitary Scornello Farm covers an area of about 340 hectars. A part of the farm is destined to the production of cereals and cheeses. Another part is maintained by a olive orchard for the production of extra virgin olive oil. It makes a sort of a circle within the farm of a thick mediterrenean woods.
The farm stays true to it promise of organic farming to save the environment with rotations that protect the fertility of the terrain. We are also a member of the Venatorial Faunaistic Group further helping to protect wild animals in the fields, woods, and the return of wild birds who make their nests in the Frangivento hedges.

There are other modern additions set up next to the ancient olive groves for pressing olives and producing organic olive oil. Thanks to the attention given to handpicking and grinding of the olives, one can be assured of the quality taste.

The Inghirami family has already realized much, but there are still more projects in the works: beehives with busy bees to care for, school visits to the farm, exhibits of old farm machinery, cantina tours, the reopening of the stalls to welcome the thrill of horse-back riding.
