I volunteered at the farm for 3.5 weeks, mostly is cleaning work, but also have a chance to do some interesting things like planting lavender. I am a remote worker. Sometimes I need to work in the morning but the work in the farm is mostly in the morning. So if you are digital nomad too you need to negotiate with Antonio well (in details!) before. The place where volunteers sleep is a typical room: two bedrooms(one is bigger and one is smaller), one living room, kitchen and bathroom. During my stay I had chance to explore nature, local cafe, nearby beaches even public hospital.

I really enjoyed my time at the farm, it is an ideal space for meditation and reflection, it is quiet and peaceful. Antonio was always collaborative, kind and interested in my well-being. I always saw him as having a good temper.

This was my first volunteering program and it couldn't have been better. The other volunteers and Antonio greeted me so calmly. Antonio is a really open minded and funny person. He is really flexible but sometimes you have to be flexible too if it's about work. But you always can solve any problems together. The only hard thing is he just can speak italian but he is really communicative and always using the translater so it is not really problem for a second. The farm is beautiful and peaceful, you really can connect with nature and the animals. Thank you Antonio for this experience. 💛

This was my first volunteering experience and it was amazing. Antonio is a great host, he is very funny and even though he doesn't speak english we always found ways to communicate. He took us everywhere we wanted to go and we always had so much fun with him and the other volunteers . The work is not hard and it's done very quickly. I loved the farm and all the animals especially the dogs, they were so sweet. I'm going to miss Calabria very much.
