Farmhouse: Breeding
| Horse |
We ‘discovered’ horses in 1987: to begin with just a herd of horses of no particular breed. Our intention was they act as grass-controllers in the outlying area. Then it literally exploded into a passion for these wonderful creatures. We love western riding: we discovered Quarter Horses, and the decision to breed them just seemed to be the next step along the way.
| Pigs |
The decision to breed cattle was taken at the dinner table! We wanted to produce meat - for ourselves and our guests – of the highest quality: especially in the times of ‘mad cow disease’.
| Cow |
We chose two Tuscan breeds – the Cinta Senese pig and the Calvana cattle. These were relatively unknown, but are now enjoying a huge interest thanks to the good works of the "Slow Food" Association.
