Ciao tutti!  Spring is in full swing & its hard work being an organic farmer! Fields are full of wild poppies & daffodils, the salami are done curing and we just got a delivery of manure for the orto! The Palio della Rana (Frog Race) of Fermignano is coming up & we chat about how they 'celebrate' the frog.

Plus this week we list our Top 10 Day Trips from our farmhouse in Le Marche, Umbria, Tuscany & San Marino! This week's phrase that pays is a spring proverb: Quando canta il cucolo la primareva e' imminente.

Thanks for listening - Ashley & Jason
