The Experience

Hi! I'm Marta, living in the forest of Ponzone, Piemonte, with my dogs, 3 cats, a wild boar, and hens. I'm starting a self-sufficient farm and need help with daily tasks, caring for the animals (especially when I'm away), and some support with fixing things on my website. Animals can require daily attention, if you need fixed hours this isn't the right place

Staying at Marta's place was short but trully rich experience. She has lovely animals that I'm going to miss - chickens, geese, whild boar Missy, two cats and two lovely dogs. Place is surounded by hills and there is a dreamy river near by. A beautiful escape from a city business. Marta is easy going, chill person. Had no issues with her! Food was very tasty and rich in nutriens, I really liked it. Marta's little farm is a great place if you are exhausted from city or you want to connect with nature more!

Volunteering in Ponzone with Marta was amazing! She gave me clear tasks but total freedom to manage my own schedule, which made the experience super flexible. I loved exploring the surrounding mountains and fields, and spending time with the chickens, cats, two sweet dogs, and even a wild boar! I was a bit homesick at first, but Marta was incredibly kind and chill, I felt so at home I ended up staying an extra week. She's a generous, knowledgeable host who will teach you whatever you want if you just ask! Highly recommend! 💘

I spent 2 weeks volunteering with Marta and had a truly enriching experience. You'll sleep in a caravan and live close to nature, helping care for animals (I miss them all already!), assisting with land work and daily chores. If you're motivated, open, and eager to learn, you'll be welcomed warmly. This is a great place to disconnect, reflect, and gain hands-on experience. Marta is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. If you're curious about the stay, don't hesitate to ask — it's worth it! Thank you for everything! 🫶🏼
