Program Details

We are natural in our lives but on the farm working process that's why I would love to find some volunteer more specific like: Permaculture designer and Food forest.

Accommodation:

Tent: We provide a tent for your stay.
Own Tent or Camper: If you prefer, you can bring your own tent or camper.
Living Room: When there are no events, you can also stay in the living room, which is used for massages and various events.

Transportation:
We offer the use of a car for local travel.
The farm is 12 km from the city center, and 6 km from the nearest beach

Activities & Shift

Next, the work we would love to do, depending on the period, includes trimming olive trees, installing a new irrigation system to plant new trees and aromatic plants (since I study herbalism and would like to expand our flora), and improving the vegetable garden by following natural farming practices. These are specific tasks, so I hope to find a volunteer who is an expert in these areas.

We offer a pick up from NOTO bus or train station, There are buses from the airport Catania to Noto.
