About
We are a 11 hectare organic farm located half way between Florence & Rome. We produce olive oil, wine, honey, herbs & wheat in one of tuscany's hidden rural gems....you'll never have experienced a Tuscany quite like it! Please come and visit our farm. From May to October we run a "Field to Table" healthy eatery in the most beautiful setting, a fixed menu using only our own ingredients. For that special occasion (birthday, anniversary, romantic date) you can book us exclusively for yourselves. We also offer farm days for people on vacation in the area where we teach you about what we do, how we do it and you can also learn to prepare some simple dishes. Just call us or send us an email. We are bilingual English/Italian. Great for adults and kids alike. Visit our website or call us.

Incredible time! Do not miss this experience in Tuscany
Jul 2016 • Family
We spent an amazing few hours with Suzie yesterday. We had read the great reviews and were not disappointed. She spent the first hour telling us about her decision to come to Tuscany and then she walked us through some of their insights and learnings as they began to farm. It was fascinating. What was most intriguing though was her description of the collaboration taking place among many of the small farmers as they work together to preserve Tuscany traditions and create new experiences. After that, she served the most amazing lunch. Course after course of gorgeous farm-raised food, accompanied by their wine, of course. WE learned so much, ate so well and came away quite transformed by the experience. Highly, highly recommended.

Organic adventure in Cetona
Apr 2017 • Friends
If you are looking for an extraordinary dinning experience in the heart of Toscanian Cetona - Suzi's Yard is definitely a place for you.. overlooking wondeful wineyard Suzi's house offers a peaceful familiar athmosphere, fantastic views and unforgetable tastes. Homemade bread with olive oil produced by Suzi's Yard to start this culinaric adventure - we had to really controll ourselves and leave the space for what was coming - lenthils soup with some curry twist, Borage parmesan backed in the oven, spelt and chard salad and wipped ricotta with honey for a sweet finale of the evening. Suzi's concept - organic and seasonal food with the shortest way to the table - straight from the garden. We are looking forward to come back soon for more :-)

Am not sure if the people or place is more beautiful.
May 2016
Asked to our hotel in Montepulciano where to stop for a lunch on our drive back to Rome. She said, maybe Cetona. Checked TripAdvisor. 5 stars. Without a phone call just went there. After a beautiful drive, arrived there to meet Suzie working in the garden. Unfortunately, because of the weather she didn't open the place that day. But still she invited us for a coffee and we met her family. Real citizens of the world. We were so sorry for not being able to spend the day there. But will try to use any opportunity to get there again, this time with a call in advance.

A jewel in the countryside
Jun 2015 • Business
I visited Suzie's Yard while I was in Cetona this summer. What can I say, what a beautiful setting. A pleasant drive from Cetona, Chiusi or any of the surrounding Tuscan towns.

I had the privilege of staying for supper with Suzie and her farm volunteers - farm grown food, salad drizzled with an exceptional farm olive oil - all washed down with a glass or two of their own wine. Heaven.

A lovely place, lovely people, I definately hope to visit again when I return to Tuscany next year.

A Truly Unique & Unforgettable Experience at Suzie's Yard
Jul 2015 • Couples
My boyfriend and I visited Suzie's Yard this evening and we were both absolutely blown away.

We arrived at 7:30 p.m. for dinner and were greeted by Suzie and her farming volunteers immediately. She and her helpers set up a table at the perfect spot in her yard; a view of the mountains, sunset and vineyards surrounded us. As we sat down at our table, we munched on homemade bread dipped in homemade olive oil and sipped on the delicious homemade wine.

The rest of our dinner encompassed a flavourful pasta salad, shredded carrots & walnuts, fresh aubergines, fresh green beans, salami, a selection of fine cheeses, homemade cherry & mint jam and fresh fruit.

We were so stuffed at the end of our meal we were barely able to leave Suzie's Yard... and then Suzie's son brought us some homemade Limoncello, coffee and salted chocolate from Sicily, which we gladly devoured (the chocolate and coffee combined were absolutely to die for).

What was most amazing about this experience, however, was that it was just my boyfriend and I enjoying it; we enjoyed fabulous food without the crowded restaurant vibe. We were at peace, enjoying our meal and the nature around us. We were able to concentrate on our own conversation while we stuffed our bellies with some of the best and freshest food I've had traveling.

Suzie's picnic has convinced me it certainly won't be the last time I visit Suzie's Yard; not so long as she offers this unforgettable dining experience. It's unlike anything I've ever done and am so grateful we had the chance to try it.

If you or anyone you know visits Cetona, this is an unmissable experience.

Authentic experience
Oct 2017 • Couples
Worth taking a trip off the regular tourist route and paying Suzies Yard a visit. The food is produced by the owners, Olive Oil, Wine and even their own wheat for Pasta as well as plenty of home grown vegetables. It's a great way to try real local food and have some good conversation, you'll learn a lot about the region. The village of Cetona is also a hidden Gem, it has the same beauty of more popular Tuscan hilltop towns, without the streams of tourists.

Enjoyable & Impactful
Oct 2017 • Friends
Wow, this was one of the highlights of our trip to Tuscany! I so enjoyed listening to Suzie share her passion about organic farming, producing olive oil and using the "tools of nature" to provide healthy and delicious foods. The meal we had was wonderful and it was so nice sitting in her yard under the pergola enjoying great food and of course wine. She also sent us to a winery a short drive away where we tasted amazing wines that have been grown and produced organically as well. It is very clear that Suzie has a passion for healthy foods, olive oil and wine and she shares it so wonderfully at her home in Cetona, Italy. If you can, be sure to plug in a visit to Suzies Yard!

Suzie’s Yard is a rare treat!
Oct 2017
If you can get to heaven by grit and hard work then Suzie is a saint! Organic sustainability are the keys to Suzie’s kingdom! A beautiful two acre farm where she grows and bottles her own olive oil as well as a small vineyard producing her own label wine. We spent a wonderful day with Suzie, her dad, and her big black lab Luna. Learned about the challenges of organic farming all about olive oil. Suzie prepared a wonderful meal from her yard and introduced us to farming as it was before pesticides, tractors and genie mods.

Fascinating visit
Jun 2017 • Couples
We visited the farm and spent a lovely hour with Suzie hearing about and tasting her olive oil. We were also lucky enough to taste some of her wine and hear lots about the ups and downs of Tuscan farming! She is great to talk to and a visit is recommended. Only sad we couldn't stay for dinner.

Surprise evening among locals
Aug 2016 • Family
We read about the farm and wanted to visit. Suzie invited us over to have dinner on a nice Tuscan night. The dinner was organised with some friends, mainly expats who moved to the area of Cetona years ago and their Italian relatives. Surprisingly we were the only tourists but what a nice evening we had! Talking to these people made you feel a local too! Suzie and her very nice family do everything to make you feel home and enjoy all the homemade food, their own wine, it was all great! Our kids had a lovely time playing with the other children. What Suzie has created in Cetona is a place of superb modern agriculture all handled with so much love and care. You cannot miss this experience. Make sure to buy some of their nice Merlot, olive oil from their trees and pasta, all just great and cultivatzd with lots of passion. Their dreams with the farm and future plans of agriculture are fantastic and we sincerely hope they can make all their dreams and plans come true. We will be back for sure next year at Suzie's as we already booked our house again!
