🌋 Surprisingly, Jennifer spoke excellent Cantonese, making our visit feel like a friendly family gathering. Her children were adorable, adding to the warm, intimate experience. A truly memorable Sicilian farm visit! 🫶

cut open was a wonderful experience. It was also my first time tasting a blood orange, and it was absolutely delicious!

I also sampled the lemon marmalade. Each marmalade had its unique flavor, and they were all so tasty that I ended up eating several extra slices of bread. However, the sweet and tangy taste of the lemon marmalade became one of the most memorable foods from my trip to Sicily.

The farm itself was like a vibrant tapestry of colors and scents, a true fruit wonderland where olive trees, lemon groves, apricots, oranges, mulberries, and more mingled in perfect harmony. It’s not just beautiful; it embraces biodiversity, creating a lively and sustainable environment that felt like discovering a natural treasure trove.

Jennifer’s knowledge about each crop was impressive. I never could have imagined that even for oranges, there could be so many different species. I always thought orange was just orange! Her passion for organic farming and biodiversity shone through in every story and explanation.

Lunch was a highlight of our day. We savored a delicious spread showcasing the farm’s bounty. Fresh salads, lemon-infused meatballs, refreshing granita, and heavenly cannoli – each bite reflected the love and care put into the farm’s produce.

But the fun didn’t stop there! We dived into a food-tasting session, enjoying various jams & marmalades, sun-dried tomatoes olive oil. It was a culinary adventure, and we left with bags full of goodies to savor at home.

Overall, this farm is a true gem. Whether you’re a food enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply seeking a relaxing day out, Jennifer and Guido’s farm has something special for everyone. We can’t wait to go return!
