We had a great two weeks with Mauricio, Rosa and the whole family. They were so welcoming, the tasks we were given were varied and enjoyable. We had amazing home cooked meals everyday with fresh produce from their garden. We learnt so much about sustainability and day to day workings on a farm. Feeding the animals was a particularly highlight and working in their family restaurant was great fun and very rewarding. This was our first work away and for us was perfect. If you want to get away from it all and immerse yourself in nature we would highly recommend this experience

We spent two weeks at Poggia the farm and we couldn't have asked for a better place to have our first volunteer experience. Rosamaria, Mauricio and the entire family were so welcoming and perfect hosts. Their farm is in a very quiet, rural location and the work we carried out was quite easy and always appreciated. We were spoilt with amazing home cooked lunches and dinners made with produce from their farm. Our work consisted mostly of helping in the vegetable field, feeding the animals and sometimes helping in their restaurant. Highly recommend this experience - thank you for hosting us.

What an unforgettable and truly unique experience! I'm so incredibly thankful for everything I learned, for all the amazing moments we shared, and for the absolutely delicious food. The entire family was so welcoming and made me feel right at home. The activities are not difficult, room was private and they were so respectful of the time I spent helping. Grazie mille, guys!

I really enjoyed this experience at the farm, giving a hand on the farm and at the garden. The place is so calm and the food was amazing. A kind family. Thanks Mauricio and Rosamaria for trusting me.
