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. We protect cows and establish with them a very profound and loving relationship. We practice simple living and high thinking. We look for a person that can stay on a long term.

It was a great experience! The people here are super nice, you feel very welcomed and safe. :) The tasks are mostly serving food and cleaning, but you nearly always do them together with others, so they aren't to hard. Also, it is super easy to travel with a bus to Florence and San caciaono!! And the nature is breathtaking. I went on a hike nearly every day and loved to explore the woods and fields surrounding the villa.
