Program Details

EN
Our volunteer program runs from April to October and is based on sharing daily farm life in a calm and respectful environment. Activities change with the seasons and are always guided by us. This is a simple, human experience focused on nature, learning, and community.

We need help in different areas: some support with farming, caring for chickens, dogs, cats, and a pony, assisting in the kitchen, and maintaining the green areas used by guests.

Volunteers will stay in a small caravan or in a comfortable, fully furnished glamping tent with beds (4.5 m in diameter).

For breakfast and dinner, volunteers can use the guest cooking area, while lunches and weekend dinners are always shared together.

Il nostro programma di volontariato si svolge da aprile a ottobre e si basa sulla condivisione della vita quotidiana in fattoria, in un clima sereno e collaborativo. Le attività variano in base alla stagione e vengono sempre svolte insieme a noi.

Avremmo bisogno di aiuti di diverso tipo, in agricoltura, nella cura delle galline, cani, gatti e pony, in cucina, e nella manutenzione del verde delle zone ospiti.

I volontari adesso avranno una piccola roulotte oppure una tenda glamping di diametro 4.5 metri, molto comoda e arredata con letti.

Per la colazione e la cena hanno a disposizione la zona cottura degli ospiti, mentre i pranzi e le cene dei fine settimana li faremo sempre assieme.
