La Colombaia

About

La Colombaia is a family run agricultural farm, it is located in the picturesque countryside of Vicchio in the province of Florence. The activity began in 1977, and is managed by Claudio Galluzzi. It has been certified as organic farming by the ICEA since 1999. We grow cereals, legumes, potatoes, olives, and grapes. We raise “Cinta Senese” pigs, the “Chianina” and "Highland" breed of cattle, the “Appenine” and the “Zwartbles” breed of sheep and genuine free-range chicken, guinea-fowls and ducks. In 2011 the agritourism activity has been further enlarged with the construction of a restaurant where all the raw materials that came from the agricultural farm and other local agricultural farms in the area were utilised. In re-examining the concept of “kilometre zero” this case is a real and true “0 metre”.
