Ciao! I will be posting my sustainable program details for Sicily soon. I will have a program where you can meet Sicilian gardeners, farmers (to learn about agriculture, seasonal food and more). During the week, we will spend some time with a family of fishermen who live in a historic fishing village (for the full story please see next week’s post. In it, I take you behind the scenes for my Travel Channel appearance and I tell the real story about how I took the show to visit that family and taste their traditional dishes).
The programs are sustainable, since we stay at an agriturismo (ecolodging) with solar power and organic food, we have nature hikes and are in contact with my local friends. If you like the idea of such a program (which I am working to do at a budget price so everyone can afford it), please subscribe to my maling list and post any thoughts, encouragement or ideas here.

A handsome Sicilian farmer
Un caro saluto,
Renée Restivo
