Learn about permaculture, self-sufficiency and alternative technology with a non-profit association in Butera, Sicily, Italy

Beschreibung

We are not a trading company. We offer a life of the highest quality, a stay in a beautiful Mediterranean garden, Italian cuisine with healthy food, excellent company on one of the most beautiful island in the world.

This place was born with the desire and need to change location, lifestyle, activity, frequentation. The road to a possible future for the planet, for me and my loved ones.
It is a biodiverse garden designed and evolved following the design and agro-ecological principles of Permaculture, in aridoculture. It is a place of meeting and exchange between people from all parts of the world.

We have already hosted more than 400 people from all over the globe. We have planted many trees and intend to plant many more and like all living things they need to be cared for, protected and loved. There are about 100 species of Mediterranean trees, and a hundred different types of fruit trees with a total of about 20000 planted in the past 10 years following the principles of Permaculture. There are also many large olive trees which produce excellent quality oil. You can help us to maintain the garden. In autumn/ winter we harvest the olives and produce oil. All jobs are coordinated personally by Mario. Depending on the weather you can stay in the village in grandfathers’ stone house with a panoramic view, or in the garden (3 km) where there are 5 caravans and ready to host up to 12 people. The cuisine is mostly vegetarian but if you prefer you can eat and cook independently. We like to live a good, healthy natural lifestyle with people we love.
