Accommodation in Exchange for Help with Cultivation and Property Care in Italy

The experience

We are two sisters in our 60s who moved from the city a year ago. Our project is to create a productive and educational vegetable garden using eco-sustainable methods and recycled materials.

We offer a comfortable and spacious camper parked in the garden where volunteers can sleep.

Program Details

What we need is someone with solid experience in sustainability, food and energy self-sufficiency, and a trustworthy profile.

We’re at the beginning of our project, with almost everything still to be built, but we have a roof over our heads, fertile land, and an old trailer in the garden that can become private accommodation for the volunteer who joins us.

We’re looking for skills, experience, and a bit of physical strength.
