Azienda Agricola Arpisson, Part 6

Photos of the hike from the lower farm (above Gimillan, Valle D'Aosta) to the upper farm (alpeggio), a two-hour hike from stores or Internet. There are no roads to the upper farm so farmers used to bring their summer supplies up on mules...and now they use a helicopter!

All my photos from this farm are here.

Azienda Agricola Arpisson, Part 3

A newborn calf in the dark stable...

Milk cooled by water from the spring (there are 22 springs that start in the hills around the farm, and you can lean right into the mouth of them and stare at the cold water bubbling out of the ground!)

Cleaning the  copper cauldron after cheese-making is one of the worst jobs on the farm
