Regenerating the farm-to-table experience

Bringing Tracolle Back to Life

The future Farm-to-Table experience at Tracolle is inspired by a personal family story.

In 1973, Pierre's grandmother, Claude Galtier, founded the Auberge du Sanglier in Aveyron, France. Long before the term "farm-to-table" became fashionable, she built a place where local ingredients, rural traditions and genuine hospitality came together around a shared table.

More than fifty years later, Tracolle seeks to carry forward the same spirit. Guests will not simply consume products from the farm. They will discover the landscape, the people, the animals and the agricultural systems that make those products possible.

The table becomes the final expression of regeneration: a place where soil, nature, craftsmanship and human connection come together.

Many traditional Tuscan farms have gradually disappeared as agricultural systems became increasingly specialized and disconnected from their environment.

At Tracolle, our ambition is not simply to renovate old buildings. It is to restore the farm as a living ecosystem.

The reintroduction of cattle is central to this vision. We are selecting breeds adapted to modern environmental realities: animals capable of producing exceptional quality beef while remaining efficient, resilient and compatible with regenerative land management. Through rotational grazing and careful integration with woodland and pasture ecosystems, cattle become a tool for rebuilding soil fertility, increasing biodiversity and strengthening the long-term health of the landscape.

In this way, livestock once again become partners in regeneration rather than sources of degradation.
