PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
"Food, Farm, and Culture in Tuscany" will enroll 14
students for a hands-on, two-week course at the
Spannocchia Foundation, a beautifully renovated, twelfthcentury
agricultural estate with an outdoor pool and
hiking trails. While at Spannocchia, students will participate
in workshops, lectures, and tours on local sustainable
agriculture (vineyards, olive groves, vegetable crops),
animal husbandry (bees and pigs), field-to-table cooking,
the Tuscan cultural landscape, and the international slow
food movement. This movement—in contrast to "fast
food"—started in Italy and emphasizes local sustainable
farming and the key role played by well-prepared meals
and leisurely dining in nourishing both family and
community. A course reader and writing assignments are
required of all students. Dr. Julia Cherry will be the
instructor, and all classes will be in English, with Italian
immersion classes available to students as an elective.
The course will include one-day fieldtrips to nearby Florence and to Siena (with dining at slow food restaurants), as well as to an organic winery or other local farm. Students and faculty will live onsite in renovated historic farm buildings and dine together on meals prepared largely from the bounty of Spannocchia itself. The course will allow students to compare sustainable agriculture practices within the United States with such practices elsewhere and to gain an understanding of the global significance of the growing slow food movement.
