About INSPIRA and how we came to create this wonderful nature and farmstay dream space in Tuscany
Mar 3
Nestled among the Italian rolling hills, INSPIRA is a place to immerse yourself in nature, breathe deeply, relax and regenerate.
We are an organic permaculture farm and farmstay (in 2026), just 30 minutes from the Tuscan coast.
During 2025, we are focusing in transforming this certified organic farm into a permaculture project. Some key permaculture features we are including: earth works to build and plant a food forest, a mandala vegetable garden, edible flowers meadow, spiral herb garden, fixed and mobile chicken coops. In 2026 we will expand to include bee hives, mushrooms, etc.
Additionally, we are dedicating part of our land as wilderness area and maintaining the existing olive grove. Check-out our project section for ongoing news!
During our first year and as we set-up our permaculture project, we will continue the production of a high-end olive oil from our 800 tree grove, and the lavender flowers from our 2000 plants. But our first Summer approaches our products diversity will grow exponentially to include fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs.
In 2026, honey and mushrooms, and of course more vegetables, fruits and nuts as our Food Forest grows.
Just like many of you, for many years we were a couple of business city people, living our very structured routines. We always were lucky enough to have a garden where we grew some fruits and vegetables. We dreamt of the next weekend or holiday to spend some time in nature. Today we find ourselves in Tuscany with a dream in the making! Our names are Marcela and Mark and we can't wait to share this place with you.
There is always something going on at INSPIRA. Here's a quick overview and sneak peek of what information is available on our different pages. Keep in mind we are still building not only our guest house but also our website. Stay tuned for much more subscribing to our NEWSLETTER!
