  Beschreibung

  We are a 100% vegan Italian couple who have transformed a corner of Salento into a sustainable lifestyle project. While we don't live permanently on the farm, we're there every day to cultivate, learn, and share this adventure with other nature lovers.
  We have a plot of land among centuries-old olive trees and dry stone walls, located in Trepuzzi [approximate location, e.g., 15 minutes from Lecce or near the Adriatic coast]. Time passes slowly here, but you won't lack comforts: we have electricity, WiFi, and hot water for a total of 1.5 hectares.
  We cultivate: an olive grove, an orchard, and two organic vegetable gardens (no chemicals, traditional methods)—we don't sell products, we use them exclusively for my family and friends.
  We care for the animals: 1 horse, 1 donkey, 4 dogs, a friendly pig, and 3 turtles.
  We offer accommodation: a caravan with outdoor space and shared bathroom, an outdoor hot-water shower. We have a caravan with clean bedding, but you can also use your own tent.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  At our little slice of Salento, cultural exchange happens naturally through shared time, meals, and stories. Here's what you can expect:
  
  Language & Tradition: Practice Italian (or our local Salentino dialect!) during our shared meals. Learn about Puglia's rural heritage through stories of olive oil making, dry-stone walling, and folk traditions
  
  Music & Creativity: We're passionate about music and have a recording studio at another location. For those interested, we enjoy sharing about music production and soundscapes in informal sessions
  
  Culinary Exchange: Cook together using harvest from our garden where vegan recipes meet Salento classics
  
  Local Knowledge: Discover edible plants in our fields or learn traditional preserving methods
  
  Your evenings are free to enjoy the beautiful Salento surroundings, relax, or explore the local area!
  
  What You Can Share:
  
  Your stories, skills, or hobbies
  
  A song, recipe, or tradition from your homeland to share during our evening gatherings
  
  Evenings & Exploration:
  
  Relaxed movie nights under the stars
  
  Joining us for trips to nearby local festivals and events
  
  We see ourselves as a cultural crossroads rather than a farm. Whether you're sharing vegan recipes from your country or learning about local traditions from our neighbors, every day brings new discoveries and mutual learning.
  
  "Come as a cultural exchange participant, leave as family - with new skills, full hearts, and a few Italian words to remember us by."
