Goat Cheese, Family, and Farming with Valentina of Podere Le Fornaci (Ep 8)

In the heart of Chianti, where wine reigns supreme, one small farm is crafting a different kind of tradition. In this episode of Life is Grape in Tuscany, we sit down with Valentina of Podere Le Fornaci, a family-run goat farm in Greve that produces organic goat’s milk cheese with passion, care, and a deep love for the land.

We talk about how she and her husband left urban life behind to raise animals — and now a baby — in the Tuscan hills. Valentina shares what farm life really looks like, the unique beauty of goat’s milk cheese, and how sustainability shapes every corner of their work.

A story about simplicity, choice, and craft — this episode is a love letter to those carving out a life off the beaten path.
