10000% recommend this experience :D Tommasos's farm has a calm and relaxed atmosphere which made the work enjoyable. The tasks were simple and always clearly communicated and the hours fully respected. My favourite parts were making lunch together after work, bike rides to Abbiategrasso for gelato, or trips to Genoa and Milano and Lake Como. The animals, the people, and the place - all 11/10! Grazie Tommaso 🤗

The place is beautiful with a canal and a river going by and fields around. The work was usually going on from 6 till 10 so you have almost all day to yourself and there are bikes which you can use to go to the town and on the bike rides. Tommaso is a kind and understanding host he picked us up from the train station and explained the work very well 😁

My experience at the farm was beautiful. The host is very friendly and the other employees are great, too. The farm is sooooo beautiful! The work is simple; a bit physically demanding, but not strenuous. We start every day with feeding the animals, then we are assigned some tasks, after finishing we all make/eat lunch together, and the rest of the day is free! I really enjoyed the Ticino River, sunbathing in the hammock, and eating gelato in Abbiategrasso. The work shows every step of farming process, which I think is truly beautiful to be apart of. Thank you, Tommaso :) Good memories

This is by far one of the best volunteers I've been. The property is clean, well organised, and they teach you all you need to know for the tasks. The farm has a great location, so there are plenty of places you can visit during your time off. Be prepared for the hot temperatures during summer.

My time at the farm has been great! I really loved it there and I got to work along with amazing volunteers. Tommaso and the other employees of the farm (Tania, Giorgio and Dembo) are really incredible people, super nice and fun to be around. They all contributed to making my stay one of the best. The work is easy and the hours respected. I even feel like sometimes we weren't doing enough when I look at all the great things we had at the farm. We have bikes there and the city and train station are close. The nature is also really great and there is a lot to explore.
