The Experience

We are an organic farm of 5 hectars in the Agrò Valley (Limina, Messina). Our aim is to regenerate a life system starting from respecting nature, selfproducing organic food and using mostly products from our land. We produce extra virgin olive oil and have a vegetable garden where we grow many different types of greens. We want to live in harmony with nature and share our abundance with others. We sleep in tents and eat mostly vegetarian.

Spending three weeks at the projecthas been a wonderful experience! The land laysthe project the mountains, surrounded by wonderful nature and not far from a waterfall. We visited the village nearby quite often to go swimming and to concertsthe project the pub Alice & Mattias work at. They are both very caring when it comes to the land and everyone around!:) The work we did was rather diverse and we could even pick own projects to work at. We are very grateful for this experience and would recommend it to everyone who likes animals and nature, wants to meet other travelers and get to know the Sicilian culture!:)

Mattias and Alice are two warm and welcoming people whom I had a lot of fun working and spending time with🫶. A true recommendation for anyone whom would like to learn more about sustainable living and permaculturethe project Sicily. Alice was good at giving recommendations for nice and interesting places to visitthe project Italy. I was therefore also lucky to experience many cool places near S. Teresa, during my stay. They really welcomed me into their farm and made me feel at home. Always open for input and good at listening even for critique. I made two new friends that I hope to come visit again soon!
