We connect people to an authentic Tuscan landscape, local food systems, and sustainable practices.

Friends of Spannocchia supports several different activities at Spannocchia. The internship program is a residential farm/work experience for young adults interested in sustainable agriculture and Italian culture and history. We also offer a wide range of 1-2 week education and enrichment programs for students and adults. Members of Friends of Spannocchia are also encouraged to visit Spannocchia when traveling in Tuscany - rent a farmhouse, or stay at the bed and breakfast.

In the spring, we told you about our plans to introduce trees and shrubs into Spannocchia's vegetable garden as part of an agroforestry system that we expect will benefit food production, biodiversity, soil health, and water retention. This month, in large part because of your generous support of this project, we were able to start planting! Staff and interns have been working together to get trees and shrubs into the ground, and we are so excited to watch this project come to life and evolve over the seasons. We're sharing some progress photos here, but click through to our website for some other interesting insights: https://www.spannocchia.org/randall-memorial-fund/

After a month of harvesting grapes, making w**e, caring for animals and working in the vegetable garden, these are the moments our Fall Interns captured through their lenses.

New court, same rivalry ....

Now for everyone to enjoy, our new Bocce Court!

And thank you to a couple of generous individuals who had the initial vision for this project and helped to make it happen, in honor of Randall.

Wow wow wow, it’s already time to welcome our Fall Interns!

Any words of advice from former interns? Write them in the comments!

Ciao friends! Aren't I cute, hanging out in the snow? ❄️🐷❄️ I'd love if you would come spend the winter with me at Spannocchia—you'd feed me, help with other farm tasks, and enjoy our coziest season together with a few other winter farm volunteers in a very special place (well, I've never been anywhere else, but I just know it's special). I promise it'll be fun!

My friend Niccolò, the Farm Education Director, says you can learn more and apply to be a Winter Farm Volunteer here: https://www.spannocchia.org/volunteer/ .

Looks like our Interns’ POV is officially a tradition that’s here to stay, soooo…sit back and enjoy a selection of fun moments from the past two months.
In no particular order: snapping peas, picking almonds, a car packed with garlic, a slightly tipsy field trip to Colombaia w**ery, a collective hug for a thousand-year-old olive tree (or so they say), cuddling a puppy, cuddling Figaro, cuddling the same puppy but this time in the vineyard, feeding the chickens, feeding a sow.
All this (and much more!) is what the Spannocchia Internship Program is all about.
✨Applications for 2027 are now open!!

Dreaming of experiencing authentic Tuscany with your favorite people? 🍷🌿 A Tavola!, our food & w**e program, is all about the table—cooking classes, artisan visits, and farm-to-table meals together. In Campo! gets you out in the fields to learn about regenerative farming firsthand, with plenty of good food and w**e along the way. Both can be customized exclusively for your own private group—your pace, your interests, your week at Spannocchia. Reach out to us at [email protected] to learn more and start planning! ✨
