Dettagli del programma

This program offers a hands-on immersion in a professional organic market garden located on the French Riviera, in Menton, close to the Italian border. We are looking for responsible, active Worldpackers who are genuinely interested in learning (or deepening their knowledge of) organic horticulture in a production-focused environment.

Volunteers are expected to participate reliably in daily tasks, follow instructions and work as part of a small team. The work is physical, outdoors, and takes place on steep terraced land, so good fitness and motivation are essential. Previous experience in gardening, horticulture or permaculture is appreciated, though not required for all tasks.

In return, we offer comfortable accommodation in a quiet setting, shared meals prepared with organic produce from the garden, internet access, laundry facilities and a respectful, welcoming atmosphere. Volunteers gain direct experience in all stages of production—from sowing and harvesting to preparing produce for markets and restaurants—while enjoying free afternoons, easy access to the beach and town, and life on the sunny Mediterranean coast.
