The Experience
I am Mariantonietta and together with my family we manage a cattle, sheep and goat farm, in Altamura, in the Altamurgia park. With the milk of our animals we produce cheese. We are looking for volunteers who want to help us in caring for the animals and in the company dairy. In addition to the volunteer part, I will be happy to tell you stories, local traditions and let you taste dishes of our culinary tradition.

My first experience as a volunteer, and I'll be completely honest... It couldn't have been better. Everything was perfect!. Maria, in particular, is a genius and passionate about what she does, always supporting me in my tasks and also in my inclusion with her friends and social activities. I was truly able to experience Italian customs, traditions (and food, haha). I'm so happy to have experienced the farm. Highly recommended.

My first volunteer and I can't waiting something better than that. Incredible place, I highly recommend to will do it this volunteer because it's an Amaizing experience, connecting with locals and Maria is an Amaizing host, always open to show all her friends and never feel you stay in the farm isolate from the society, the opposite everytime people arrive to and give an incredible energy to the place. Grazie Maria and all your family and friends, my time in Altamura never was the same without this volunteer. My best memories in the farm. Grazie per il chivo 🎶😂

I had such an amazing experience at the farm! I was able to reconnect with nature, with animals, and with the land. Mari is a truly special person who genuinely cares about you (and cooks amazing Italian dishes!). I really enjoyed the work on the farm (it's important to be physically prepared, as some tasks require strength). the farm is peaceful, the volunteers have their own private space, and Mari's friends are also very nice. Mari's dad is a really kind person as well, always ready to explain farm life. I would definitely come back!

If you want to have real experiences in the south of Italy, know about folklore and local culture, try really good dishes and stay in contact in the middle of nature… you have to come to the farm. MariAntonietta and her family have a really beautiful mentality and heart… they will make sure you feel like family and show you amazing places all around Puglia… i definitely recommend…

The farm is an authentic and genuine place surrounded by the wonderful murgia's meadows, where together with animals and humans you never get bored! The tireless, sweet super-Mariantonietta welcomed me warmly and taught me many things about the territory and the animals, about her work as a sheperd and local traditions, and I also learned how to make cheeses thanks to Mari's father, Vito. The days passed quickly between laughter, evenings with friends, dance and a lot of good homemade food! Thank you for everything I hope to see you again very soon!!
