Would you like to see the fruit of your hard work end up in a pot becoming a dull dish? Aldo and Cinzia, direct farmers of the Podere Saragiolo Organic Farm in Torrita di Siena do not wish so, and that is why in addition to cultivating and selling good seasonal fruit and vegetables, they are keen to explain to their customers the cooking methods in kitchen and best recipes of the Tuscan and Italian tradition. Direct growers and sales staff in their shop in Torrita di Siena transform some of their vegetables into tasty preparations such as garlic sauce, vegetable sauce, grilled peppers and aubergine cream.

Their working philosophy is mainly based on collaboration, between the two brothers and with customers, in a virtuous circle of do ut des. From the exchange of ideas, research in the kitchen, recipes and information on Tuscan and Italian products, they create new crops and proposals. The aubergine cream was inspired by baba ganoush, the eggplant-based sauce of Middle Eastern origins, proposed by one of their North African customers.

The Organic Farm is located in a place that Cinzia defines as a “happy island” because the fields of the farm are surrounded by woods and bordering another organic farm. The cultivation of fruit and vegetables takes place according to seasonality, with the help only of natural substances and completely excluding chemical synthesis products, in full compliance with the production methods of organic farming.

“We work for collaboration with attention to food, sensitivity to the theme of organic food and sustainability for people and the planet” Cinzia tells us: “we are delighted when we meet someone who embraces our philosophy”.
