Giordano has chosen a simple way of life. Inspired by traditional ways of farming, he grows food without using chemicals or machinery. He is largely self-sufficient, and has found a balance with nature and with himself. [Giordano Cellai, Self-Sufficient Farmer]: "My first goal was to be self-sufficient because I felt I needed to support myself in order to be able to be free - as a person, as a human being. Doing this kind of job made me more aware of what food is, how a plant sacrifices life in order to support us. Basic things are food and shelter. That's what we all need really. I become more basic in my choices and I started to live a simpler life." Giordano started his small farm in Tuscany, central Italy, in 2005. It was a huge lifestyle change, but in actuality everything went smoothly. [Giordano Cellai, Self-Sufficient Farmer]: "Many difficulties I can recall going back to the way I was living before. When I made this choice everything went like better. Less things, less baggage to carry around, less problems. I just respect what surrounds me and I feel I have something back from this respect." Of course, there are still things that need money. Giordano also works on a nearby farm from time to time, but his story is largely a successful one. In the hustle and bustle of a modern material society, he has found peace and personal freedom.
