Who we are
Gida and Thea
The “very fierce” and “menacing” guardians of our little flock.
Nicolò
Florentine, a graduate in enology and repentant former IT technician. He moves easily between the tractor, the shed and his blues guitar. He has been a member of Podere Le Fornaci since 2016 and takes care of the haymaking, the goats and all the farm maintenance.
Valentina
From Trento and a political science graduate, she chose instead to dedicate her learning and skills to the goats of Podere le Fornaci. She has been a member of the farm since 2016 and takes care of the health of the flock, the tastings and the dairy.
Robin
A melancholy soul and the canine shadow of Nicolò and Valentina.
