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.
