Description
Hi! My name is Flaminia, I am a young woman, international, traveller, ecopreneur.
This is a 5 hectare farm, overlooking the river Tiber. It is run by my father Giuseppe, me and my brother Luca and our target is to create an educational center where children and adults can learn how to live in a natural and sustainable way. My dream and target? To develop laboratories and activities for kids.
The place hosts several activities including a rowing school, farmyard animals, honey production, BBQ and picnic area.
Here we also have 1 hectare dedicated to urban gardens and agricultural production. This is the area I am starting up and on which I will need your kind help. For the moment, 10 vegetable gardens, 70mq each, to grow according to the natural method. As soon as they will be up and running I can focus on the education side: working with schools and developing laboratories and activities for kids. My real dream in life!
If you share our same values, if you love to be in the nature, to learn about agriculture and to discover Rome, this is the right place for you :)

Help
I will need your kind help in the management of the urgan gardens. I'm currently growing 10 educational gardens, 70 mq each, for our members. They are not clients, but people who believes in my educational project that decided to support me adopting a garden. They paid an entrance fee, used to payback all the costs. As for my business plan, in 2 years I will earn from the educational business (working with schools doing laboratory for kids), but it's a part still to be developed. So unfortunately there are no revenues.
For this reason I cannot afford to pay workers, but I can provide all the rest :)

Accommodation
Our KNUS caravan here will be totally dedicated to you. It is clean, cousy and fully furnished. You will have everything that you need :) I will provide you a big course at the beginning of your stay for you to cook in the caravan.
What else ...
In the working hours you will work the land and grow vegetable gardens with me. For the rest, you will enjoy Rome and Italian life style :) I am open to teach Italian language!
The farm is well connected to the city center, in any case I have a car and I can provide assistance for any need. If you join the family, then you are part of the family and we will take care of you :)
