The bee-keeping:
the La Torre farm has been keeping bees since 2003 with the production of single flower honey (mainly Acacia, Chestnut and Lime but also broom and honey-dew), mixed flower honey.
The beekeeping is taken care of directly by Paolo, who after courses of specialisation and updating has been performing this activity with great passion and professionalism.
The honey we produce is exclusively natural, centrifuged (the safest and most modern method to extract the honey) and filtered.
Our farm has the "Toscana Miele" seal of approval as a guarantee of the quality of the brand. "Toscana Miele" was born in 1991 and is the largest association of honey producers in Tuscany and it certifies that the honey is picked exclusively from Tuscan crops by beekeepers of proven experience, members of the Producers Association. The bees we keep belong only to the honey producing Italian species.

The La Torre has given back to agriculture 32,000 mq. of land that in the last few decades of abandonment they had been occupied from many infesting plants. Along job for the cleaning of lands, until the second world war they were occupied from plants of grape for the wine production, is materialized in a new olive grove with beyond 500 plants, the whose species (frantoiano and leccino) will render between some year the oil for which the lucchesia is famous all over the world.
The small plants, still too much young for being able to render one production, they come pruned and attended to every year, so as to to be able to soon taste our oil, thanks also to the favorable solar exposure.
