I really liked my stay at the farm, getting in touch with nature and socializing with other volunteers. The part that I enjoyed the most was with the animals, big lovable dogs and little cutie cats. The weather was not the best when I went, but the place, although it was partly outdoors, was very cozy. Chiara really loves this project and you can see it everywhere, a place to be yourself and be connected. Thank you for this experience✨

As a first project i got to see how a community works, which i found very valuable the place seems cozy especially i imagine in warmer days /lots of hamaks oooh and dont get me starting on the kittens/ , and during my stay there had been quite some advancement at the construction so future volunteers will have it even more cozy haha lots of love to Puglia <3

The farm is very much a work in progress Chiara and her support team of Fede and Ally (@ time of writing) are wonderful and the whole experience engaging, be warned at present (October '25) things are a little 'Robinson Crusoe' a wonderful outside hand constructed shower adds to the charm (but maybe not so appealing in the winter months)🥴and the toilet is currently a temporary 'porta-loo' shared with the builders who are renovating the house, this will be relatively short term and replaced once the house is complete. All in all a fantastic experience and I hope to return to see it complete.

Chiara and the other community contributors at Theriake — the brand of the project — did an amazing job at involving each volunteer. Being able to volunteer here means being given the opportunity to join in the development of an eco-conscious project with beautiful things in its horizon. I am honored to have been a helping hand here at Theriake, and I look forward to my next time here. I volunteered here during August, a busy time of year for the region of Puglia. Other times in the year may be more quiet.

Chiara is an amazing, passionate, and strong individual. If you are open minded, you will learn so much from her. The farm itself has a wonderful energy about it that is healing for the soul and mind. I came with a void within me that was fulfilled and healed here. I made memories and connections that will last forever. Thank you Chiara for being so intentional and amazing! <3
