So this was probably one of my favorite days in Sorrento and the day I wanted to plan more than anything. I had wanted to go to a farm from day one. This farm is a place that has lemons, olives, animals and they served us lunch. It was the most exciting day for me.
We started out with breakfast at Fauno Bar. But we learned to tell them, just the eggs and croissant and cappuccino. Not all the other stuff. We then just walked around Sorrento watching the city open waiting for the bus for the farm. We caught the bus and were off for my most exciting day,
Eugenio showed us his family farm. His brother, mother, father and his girlfriend all work there. They process the lemons, olives, milk the animals. they send the animals places for a neighbor to process. They make their own wine. 
The ladder in the back was specially built to climb to grab lemons from the tress by the father. It was really interesting to watch them fly up and down the ladder to get up to the trees. They even had bee hives. You just touched a lemon and the smell permeated your skin.




They then brought out the "light"lunch. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The olive oils were regular, lemon and orange. The lemon was amazing. We did buy a bunch to bring back. I wish I had brought back more. 

After the antipasto, we had fried zucchini, homemade rigatoni, and then finished with lemon tiramisu and homemade limoncello. Everything just tasted like summer. When we were done at the farm, the bus took us back to Sorrento and we just walked around again. We found this cute set outside bar of the champagne bottle. So cute. I wish I could have one for my backyard.

stopped for a drink and a ceaser salad. As with everything else it was just so fresh! All food is just so fresh in Italy. Love it. 


We then continued to walk around and of course, visited another church!
