The farm is nestled in the nature of Castelnuovo di Ceva (CN), in a mountainous environment at 800 meters above sea level. The goats produce an average of 2 liters of milk per day from February until the end of October. During the gestation period from November to January, when the goats do not produce milk, cheese production is halted. The goats are milked twice a day, and to ensure the quality of the product, the milk is directly transformed into cheese.

When we are in Castelnuovo di Ceva at my headquarters, volunteers have a room available in the house where they live, with their own bathroom. We share common spaces and meals together. For the summer season, we permanently move to Borgata Paraloup - municipality of Rittana in the province of Cuneo Valle Stura for mountain pastures, from May to early October, where the methods of breeding and cheese production will be the same as those practiced on-site.

Receiving volunteers is a fascinating experience for cultural and experiential exchange. Welcoming volunteers feels like embarking on a journey through the shared experiences. We will cook and share meals together once a day.
