A experiência

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a volunteer to help me with farm activities during the autumn season. You’ll be involved in wheat seeding, wheat grinding, and supporting us during local autumn fairs. It’s a great opportunity to learn about traditional farming, enjoy nature, and experience authentic Italian countryside life!

Detalhes

I’m a 30-year-old farmer who has always believed in agriculture that respects both the environment and the consumer. Guided by this conviction, I founded my own farm.

The farm is located in the sub-region of Barbagia, in the Cedrino Valley area. It focuses mainly on cereal production and covers about 5 hectares where we cultivate ancient grains — especially einkorn wheat (grano monococco) — and grain legumes.

All cultivation is done without chemical products. The most important times of the year are:

Sowing (November–December)

Weed control (February–April)

Harvest (June–August)

The farm also manages all post-harvest processes, including grain cleaning (with old traditional machines), stone milling, packaging, and selling flour, bread, and pasta.

Atividades & Turnos

Education and awareness are key parts of my mission. Through my farm, I organize events that promote not only my products but also environmental respect and sustainable farming.

The busiest periods are:

October to mid-December (fairs and sowing)

Mid-March to mid-April (manual weeding)

Mid-June through August (grain cleaning)

I’m not a strict person — I always try to make even the more demanding tasks enjoyable. However, for a positive experience together, I believe it’s important to have curiosity and a real willingness to learn.

The farm is located just a few kilometers from the sea, in one of the most enchanting areas of Sardinia — a true open-air museum.

Accommodation
Volunteers stay in a private room inside my house, which is about 1 km from the farm. We usually return home for dinner, while lunch (and sometimes breakfast) is taken at the farm.
