Program Details

EN
This is a grassroots project born a few years ago with the dream of creating a self-sustainable community based on human connection, shared values, and respect for nature. We explore natural building, permaculture gardening, care for farm animals, water purification systems, and artistic installations, guided by ethics and ecological awareness.

Volunteers take part in hands-on, practical experiences and are involved in daily life within the community. This is a space for learning by doing, exchanging ideas, and growing together in a simple and conscious environment.

La fattoria è un progetto nato alcuni anni fa con il sogno di creare una comunità autosostenibile fondata sulle relazioni umane, la condivisione e il rispetto della natura. Ci dedichiamo a costruzioni naturali, orto in permacultura, cura degli animali, sistemi di purificazione dell’acqua e installazioni artistiche, con un forte focus su etica ed ecosostenibilità.

I volontari partecipano attivamente alla vita quotidiana della comunità, imparando attraverso l’esperienza diretta, la condivisione e la collaborazione in un contesto semplice e consapevole.
