La Transumanza - Journey with the Shepherds

Join me for the third in the interview series with Master Shepherd, Nunzio Marcelli of La Porta dei Parchi, an organic sheep and goat farm nestled in the Apennines in Abruzzo, and not far from Sulmona. In this segment, Nunzio tells us all about La Transumanza, a practice of taking the flocks of sheep and goats across the mountains and down to the lower plains and green grasses during the winter months. Now, Nunzio offers a warmer weather Transumanza experience. People can come an spend four days and three nights on the mountains with the shepherds and have a full immersion experience.
