    Description

    Hi, we are Ali, Peppe and Ted! We live in Rivello (Basilicata, PZ) and, following the rhythms of nature, we apply permaculture's principles in our little land and we work a lot with self-production of food and more. Creativity and manual work are our everyday life, immersed in olive trees, rivers and woods...in a valley beetween high mountains and marvellous beaches. Come and join with support or ideas to make this place more than a paradise :)
