The Experience
We are an Hare Krsna community living in the wonderful countryside of Florence. We look for a person that wishes to help us caring of our 9 cows. The activity can be phisically demanding and for this reason is more suitable for guys. We protect cows and establish with them a very profound relationship. We practice simple living and high thinking. We look also for a person that can stay on a long term.

This place & what they practice is very special. The place and the people will make your time memorable. The culture of the Hare Krishna community is truly authentic. The best way to enter this place is with an open mind & an open heart. That's when the true impact sets in. Mattia is also a wonderful host. He was definitely a highlight of my experience. I'm sure he will be yours too. His kindness & genuine nature is beyond measure. Thank you for everything 😊

My experience at the community was positive. I was able to discover and experience a different, healthy, and joyful way of life. The place is incredible, nestled in Tuscany. The tasks were simple and were carried out by two people, and work schedules were respected. The treatment was extremely respectful and friendly. The food, although vegetarian, was delicious and varied. The place is a 30-minute bus ride from Florence. I highly recommend this experience. I stayed there for two weeks and it was great. I hope to return sometime soon.
