Wood
Order in September. Prices rise later in the year. Order in quintali, not cubic metres — one quintale is 100 kg — and check the length will fit your stove. All three speak Italian only; WhatsApp is often easier than calling.
Fuel
The nearest station is La Botte, on the road to Pitigliano. Others are in Santa Fiora, Piancastagnaio, Acquapendente, San Quirico and Pitigliano.
Second-hand
Start with the community WhatsApp group Marketplace for selling, donating or finding things. Clothing swaps are organised within the community from time to time.
