August at the Almond Grove: childhood memories
Posted on Wednesday 12th of August 2009 under Ancestry | Food and Drink | General
My childhood memories of August are all about almonds and carobs.
My grandmother, my dad's mother, was the daughter of a farmer, Massa Titta, who owned land in the countryside outside the town of Ispica.
When he died the land was divided among his children and my grandmother became the owner of an almond grove where there were also a few huge carob trees.
Every year, the whole family was asked to go to San F/Pantinu (this was the name of the area where the land was) to help collecting almonds.

In this post we just want to list a few points that might be of help if you want to start looking for your roots in Sicily.
