LUNCH AT A FARM HOUSE IN NAPLES, ITALY

FARM HOUSE LUNCH

NAPLES, ITALY

Visited a charming and large working farm in Naples.  The family here has been making their own wine, olive oil, cheese and liquors for decades.  They raise their own livestock, plant their own fruit trees and harvest fresh vegetable and herbs from the garden.  Nothing goes to waste here.  Pretty amazing operation and family.  After walking through the farm we were treated to a cheese making demonstration and then served a delicious lunch outside under a large canopy.  The wine was flowing and I enjoyed conversation with a family visiting from Norway.  Here we were families from two different worlds enjoying bread and wine in Italy.  Really does not get much better.
