I live in the middle of the forest in the north of Italy, in Ponzone, Piemonte with my dogs Hella , 3 cats Loky,Tyr and Diana, my no more baby wildboar Missy and a beautiful group of hens
I am at the start of my project of a selfsufficent farm and life; At the moment I live in a small wood house with nearly everything, but two building are in renovation at the moment.
You will be host in the roulette near the rooster fence (bring some earplugs), you will have a compost toilette outside and we will share bathroom and kitchen in the woodhouse.
Note that life here is very rustic and wild and is possible you'll stay on your own for hours or few days

If you want to have an experience in the middle of a forest far away from anything and anyone, this is the right place.
There is only silence and animals voices to keep us company.
I can teach a lot of things about permaculture, herbs, farming and animals behaviour
This is a good opportunity for ho want to stay alone in the nature

I will be happy to teach you about sosteinable farming, animals, our travels and envelove you in all our project, expecially the permaculture design of our farm, Italian cousine and language
You can try a very basic and wild lifestyle, sleeping under a beautiful sky, in the silent, the only noise is the river!

In my life i have done many things; i was in the italian Army, travelled in the desert, all around Israel, cheesemaker helper in Ireland, dogtrainer, kennel attendant in a sleddog centre, studied on my own animal behaviour for 6 years and attended a professional course for treecutter (lumberjack) I am really openminded and easygoing

Staying at Marta’s place was short but trully rich experience. She has lovely animals that I’m going to miss - chickens, geese, whild boar Missy, two cats and two lovely dogs. Place is surounded by hills and there is a dreamy river near by. A beautiful escape from a city business. Marta is easy going, chill person. Had no issues with her! Food was very tasty and rich in nutriens, I really liked it. Marta’s little farm is a great place if you are exhausted from city or you want to connect with nature more!

Volunteering in Ponzone with Marta was amazing! She gave me clear tasks but total freedom to manage my own schedule, which made the experience super flexible. I loved exploring the surrounding mountains and fields, and spending time with the chickens, cats, two sweet dogs, and even a wild boar! I was a bit homesick at first, but Marta was incredibly kind and chill, I felt so at home I ended up staying an extra week. She’s a generous, knowledgeable host who will teach you whatever you want if you just ask! Highly recommend! 💘

I spent 2 weeks volunteering with Marta and had a truly enriching experience. You’ll sleep in a caravan and live close to nature, helping care for animals (I miss them all already!), assisting with land work and daily chores. If you're motivated, open, and eager to learn, you’ll be welcomed warmly. This is a great place to disconnect, reflect, and gain hands-on experience. Marta is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. If you’re curious about the stay, don’t hesitate to ask — it’s worth it!
Thank you for everything! 🫶🏼
