It was a beautiful, fulfilling and regenerating experience. Besides the conviviality and laughter, emotions I take home are: - hands dirty but at the same time smelling of tomatoes, a scent that smells good, healthy, and organic; - pears left as gifts and offered to the bees; - finding people who have similar values to yours and who care about the Earth more than anything else, more than their own egos, more than money. Thanks to Giuseppe. Synergy creates beautiful thing, human connections are created and work is better.

It was our first time with worldpackers and I am glad we chose the project. The other volunteers were super nice and made us feel welcomed, and the experience was enriching and memorabile. Some days were a bit tough because of the many hours of work but every task was a great chance to learn how to live in a sustainable way and minimize our impact on earth. Definitely recommended.

My experience at the project was very restorative and gave me a chance to reflect on my individual impact on the environment and how I can minimise it. The physical labour was actually quite therapeutic - even though it can be challenging at times! I was only at the project for a week, but within that week I connected really well with the other volunteers, created a routine, and felt comfortable at the farm. The additional household tasks were a nice way to create a community within the project, but would sometimes be quite tiring after a day's work. I would definitely recommend the project!

I spent two weeks at the project and did a variety of different tasks in the field from harvesting fruits, pruning, moving mulch, making cobb and house chores. I really enjoyed meeting other volunteers, learning how to make jam and Friday pizza nights! The additional tasks (cooking, cleaning) sometimes took more time so some days felt longer but overall I had a good experience and would recommend to anyone interested in sustainable living and permaculture.

My time at the project was truly wonderful! This was my first volunteering experience so I was a bit nervous, but that wasn't needed at all. Giuseppe and the other volunteers were so kind and all tasks were clearly explained. What I liked most is that there was a variety of tasks to do, so I could learn a lot of different things. I would recommend this project to anyone who is eager to learn more about living in accordance with nature, and who loves to meet other international travellers and connect with them!
