The Experience

There is always a lot of recurring and entertaining work to do around our place, so we sure need help. We can get an extra hand in restoring walls and cleaning the small houses, for example. I hope to meet people who love to stay, to help and to enjoy the nature. We live in the south of Italy and are blessed to have this beautiful place. The shifts are in the mornings, so we have the rest of the day free. No drugs, please.

This was my first world packers experience and so so worth it, Iris is truly a lovely person. The work was satisfying and we never worked over time. It was a welcoming environment to be in, I'll miss the tea breaks ! Isca is a wonderful place to be, in the first week I stayed in the chicken house (amazing views) and the next week in the riverhouse watching the fireflies. Iris was able to give us lifts to san andrea, soverato and the beach when our plans crossed over and the journey back was never difficult, it's a beautiful, safe space in southern Italy and I hope to come back in the future.

This experience had the most healing impact on me. I feel energised, inspired and full of love. You became a very special and dear human for me, I learned a lot. All the tasks were interesting and so diverse. The energy your land holds is something unexplainable and beautiful. Forever grateful for this :)

We stayed at the farm for 2 weeks in April which was a great time for being there, as nature just started to pop. Our working schedule was from 8 am to 1 pm during which we had a longer break, when we had tea, and snacks. We were mainly working with maintenance, cleaning (the chicken and rabbits) and the garden (cleaning from the weeds). The job was fulfilling, it provided us with the feeling of usefulness. Iris was easy to communicate with and she could accommodate our needs (swap days due to market day in a nearby town). She was open to our ideas, and we felt trusted from the 1st moment.

The only thing better than going to Isca to work with Iris once, is going there twice!! Once again, an absolutely amazing experience, all of the people you meet are lovely, the surrounds are beautiful, the work is varied and although it's sometimes physical, it is always enjoyable and very rewarding. Iris welcomed me back like family, and I hope that one day I will return again (if I could stay forever, I would!!). Thank you Iris and Isca <333

I had the most wonderful time here in Isca. The location is beautiful and allows time to disconnect, enjoy nature, and also have fun. Iris is hard working, fun- loving, very kind, and is always sharing anything she has to offer. Be prepared because the work is physical at times but still quite enjoyable, and Iris would often work along side us. This was my first world-packers experience, and i would recommend it to anyone as long as you're willing to work and you have a good attitude.
