Cooking Holidays in Le Marche, Italy

Join us this year at La Tavola Marche (farm, inn & cooking school) for an unforgettable holiday in Le Marche! Our farmhouse/agriturismo may be deep in the Italian countryside, but there is always something going on. From foraging for wild edibles in the Spring, market trips and artisan beer tastings/tours over the summer, a yoga retreat in September and our annual butchering program in October, we are busy at our little farmhouse!
We’re not only blogging but about our food, recipes & life but we’ve got a spirited podcast on iTunes {Podcast from Italy} that’s not to missed and have recently started shooting shortvideos (watch our most recent below)!

See you in the kitchen –
Ashley & Jason Bartner
