Visit to a Sicilian Farm

Friday afternoon we had the good fortune to visit a working farm involved in the agritourism industry, Case Varisco.
Welcoming tastes of the farm's products
 It is a beautiful farm where most of the food used by the family, for their bed and breakfast, and for tourists is grown.  The family greeted us with some refreshments when we arrived.

 Some of our group helped prepare delicious rice ball appetizers. 
We started with several appetizers  from a variety of home-grown vegetables in different sauces.  One of my favorites was the grilled zucchini. Next came a pasta course, then a meat course of lamb and pork.  Dessert was amazing poached pears in a mint sauce. And a future farmer served our Limoncello on the way out.  Magnifico!
