Program Details

We would like to collaborate with people who want to learn and also make their talents available. Manual skill is important. If you also have technical skills, even better.

Here, we learn to live in harmony with nature and are excited to share our journey with open-minded, eager, and hardworking people.

Activities & Shift

Every day we have to take care of animals. The rest of the work depends on the period.
In October and November we take care of the olive harvest.
In the winter months we do pruning, clean the land and take care of maintenance. A lot of our work is done outdoors.

Join us to:
🌿 Experience sustainable farm life firsthand.
🍃 Learn how to care for olive trees and the land.
🏡 Enjoy the simplicity of a slower, more fulfilling lifestyle.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Be part of our daily family life and activities.
In exchange for your help, we offer a cozy stay, delicious homemade meals, and the opportunity to immerse yourself in the authentic Italian countryside. 🍝🍷
If you're ready to reconnect with nature and share meaningful moments with us, we'd love to hear from you! 😊

Rules

We are looking for a super flexible, child-friendly and family-friendly person or family.
The ideal would be a person who has interpersonal skills and dexterity.
We live simply, without a luxurious lifestyle.
We are not rich, no food waste.

We try to eat healthy, we are not vegetarians or vegans but we don't eat meat every day. We like homemade food.

This place is our home and our work, respect and discretion towards the customers of the farm is important.

You will be able to share country life with us.

We like to establish an informal relationship as if we had an additional family member with us.
