  Organic Food forest near Rome! South Lazio
  Hi everyone
  I'm Stefano, I was born in Rome in 1981, I lived 4 years in Berlin and since 2013 I have been taking care of 6 hectares of land, including an olive grove, an aromatic plantation a blackberry and raspberry plantation, and a lot of woodland, in Carpineto Romano, a town an hour south of Rome and 45 minutes from Sabaudia. In southern Lazio.
  
  I have traveled a bit and visited various ecovillages and farms in Europe and would like to gradually replicate these experiences with the help of a group of people. On the land which was abandoned for 20 years I am selecting the edible and usable essences creating a stripe of food forest between the olive grove and the forest. There are blackthorns, cornelians, hawthorn, dog rose, wild cherries, plums, walnuts, chestnuts, pear trees and apple trees and many aromatic herbs including thyme, mint and marrubio; all spontaneous and natural. All this needs to be made accessible to anyone interested in building a harmonious relationship with nature and living there by living this relationship.
  
  I only have a house in the village thirtyfive minutes walk from the land but I would like to create the conditions to live in the woods at least in the summer, starting to collect rainwater and create a way to sleep there but that's a long term project. Twice a month I go to Rome where I participate in the activities of the Forte Prenestino social centre and I would be happy to involve you! I speak Italian, German, English, Spanish and understand French! I am waiting for you.

  Organic Food forest near Rome! Lazio del sud
  Ciao a tutte e tutti.
  Sono Stefano, sono nato a Roma nel 1981, ho vissuto 4 anni a Berlino e dal 2013 mi prendo cura di 6 ettari di terreno, tra cui un uliveto, una coltivazione di piante aromatiche una piantaggione di more e lamponi, e molto bosco, a Carpineto Romano, un paese un ora a sud di roma e a 45 minuti da Sabaudia, nel lazio del sud. Ho viaggiato un pò ed ho visitato vari ecovillaggi e farm in Europa e vorrei replicare gradualmente queste esperienze con l'aiuto di un gruppo di persone. In questi terreni abbandonati da 20 anni sto selezionando le essenze commestibili e utilizzabili creando una fascia di foresta alimentare tra l'uliveto e il bosco. Ci sono prugnoli, cornioli, biancospino, rosa canina, ciliege selvatiche, prugne, noci, castagne, peri e meli e molte aromatiche tra cui timo menta e marrubio; tutto spontaneo e naturale. Bisogna solo rendere accessibile tutto questo a chiunque sia interessato a costruire un rapporto armonico con la natura e ad abitare li vivendo di questo rapporto. Ho una casa in paese a trenta minuti di cammino dai terreni ma vorrei creare le condizioni per vivere nel bosco almeno in estate, cominciando a raccogliere l'acqua piovana e a creare un modo per dormire li ma questo é un proggetto a lungo termine. Due volte al mese vado a Roma dove partecipo alle attività del centro sociale Forte Prenestino e sarei felice di coinvolgervi! Parlo italiano, tedesco, inglese, spagnolo e capisco il francese! Vi aspetto!
