I loved my time in the farm-the farm!! Christina and Sam are a lovely couple who really cares about the environment. Baby Selena it's the most charming and happy baby that you can know. I learned a lot about the animals and the plants. We shared a lot of meals and experiences. Baku is the most lovely dog who I ever met, always ready to make you company, Bruno the sheep loves to be pet and Berta is the kind of sheep who doesn't care about the humans 😊. It was a beautiful experience. PS: if you are really lucky, you maybe get to know Peanut, the most lovely and fluffy dog in the earth ❤️

Volunteering at the farm was a beautiful experience. Sam and Cristina are both very welcoming and made me feel comfortable from the begining. We shared most meals together which was a beautiful way to connect and share delicious food. The work varied, with daily tasks of watering the gardens and taking care of the animals. Theres always something to do, depending on the season. The nature around was beautiful and there was alot of time to explore, relax and spend time with yourself or with Backu (the super cute dog).

Christina, Samuel and little Salina are amazing people and a beautiful family! Very kind, funny and welcoming. I had a great time at the farm with then. The hours of work and tasks are very clear and respected, the accommodations are beautiful and confortable and the farm is very peaceful. Thank you so much for having me :)

Incredible experience! Sam and Christina are fantastic. The work was varied. I was responsible for the animals' well-being every day, we took care of the vegetable garden as a team, did general cleaning, and some renovation work. Volunteering is always rewarding when there is synergy and especially a personal connection between everyone, and that's exactly what happened. There were days when we worked less and days when we worked more. Even so, I managed to balance it with my remote work during my free hours. On my days off, I was able to travel and visit places in Sicily. I'll be back.

Our experience at the farm was amazing. We worked in the vegetable garden, cleaning and harvesting fruits, vegetables, and greens, and we watered the flowers and trees, which are truly a highlight of the farm. We also did some cleaning and organizing, as well as a bit of repair and construction work. We took care of the animals (chickens, ducks, and two sheep), cleaning their area and feeding them. The tasks are very simple, and everything is very flexible. Sam, Christina, and Salina were wonderful — such kind and lovely people! We left already wanting to come back. Thank you for everything.
