Description
We are a couple: Andreas and Kerstin who both work in the arts and manual therapy. We have two dogs, a pacifist labradoodle and a happy go lucky laghotto romagnolo. They get along famously with our 4 cats and various amounts of free range chicken. We also have a horse and two donkeys. We have bought our house in 2021, it is a 450 years old stone house. We completed major renovations in our house and on the family farm. We try to be self sustainable with our veggie garden, and we also have olive trees, and an orchard. We are vegetarians. We don't sell our products but just use it for ourselves. We have a beautiful salt water swimming pool for the warmer season, and there is great hiking and mountain biking in the area. We often have friends from the neighbourhood over for dinner or other occasions.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We have an open house in a panoramic position where locals and guests meet regularly. We all benefit from meeting people from diverse backgrounds and ways of life. Sometimes travellers will be able to participate in movement and dance classes on site. We have a vegetarian lifestyle and care for the animal and plant and fungi world around us. We think as artists, and from an eco-somatic viewpoint. Travellers will benefit from our experience having lived in 3 continents, from our expertise with animals and other projects. We are still learning farming ourselves.
Help
We are located in a beautiful secluded position with no immediate neighbours in the Umbrian woods. We have an eco farm (olives, pastures, walnuts, cherries) and an arts dance and health project that we are currently building up.
We have been hosting people from all over the world in the past years and we love the cultural exchange across ages and experiences.
We welcome volunteers who enjoy spending time outdoors and would like to learn about our way of caring for the land and plants. We tend the garden together, sow vegetables, prune trees and enjoy watching things grow. We share responsibility for keeping the spaces tidy and welcoming. Volunteers take part in daily help around the house so we all live comfortably together. If you love animals, you can join us in caring for them — feeding, walking, playing, learning their routines. It's a beautiful opportunity to connect with them and understand their personalities.

Accommodation
Either in an own apartment or in a two bed room in the main house (everything heatable). or in a tent with a mattress. We prefer travellers to come at least for 2 weeks in order to get the gist here.
What else ...
We are always happy with travellers who think about what they do and how they do it best, and creatively. We live secluded 6 km away from the next town. Great hiking, mountain biking, swimming here, but no nightlife or bus at the front door. You are welcome to take the mountain bike into town or join us when we go shopping or out into town. We live in a very rural and traditional area of Umbria which is extremely beautiful and historic and we can point you to things to do in the area.
