Hello everyone, I'm Franca! My big family and I live in a countryside and we have a farm to take care to.
I have 5 sons from 3 to 27 years old (yes, a big difference!) but the older ones are not all week long in home. My partner and me decide to devote our life to the family, taking care of them choosing every day to make everything we can with our own hands. My family and I like to have a real contact with the world around us: with nature, with food, and especially with people.
We devote time to cultivate vegetables and fruit trees, also to harvest edible wild herbs. We rears a lot of animals, many of them just like pets and others to sustain our family.
We are waiting for you and for any kind of help you can give us!

You can learn our simple way to live, in touch with nature every day, discovering how relaxing and busy at the same time it can be.
You can learn to satisfy your needs doing things on your own, in a environmentally friendly way and as well how to create earnings from it.
You can have the pleasure to stay in the Land of Centenarian (one of the 5 Blue Zones of the world: Ogliastra, Sardegna) and learn their secrets and traditions.
We mostly need help in the farm and everything related to it: from building a new houses for animals, to give them food or to milk them! We need help to take care to the garden (for e.g. using biodynamic or synergic agricultural systems) and the various kind of trees we have (typical Mediterranean fruit trees).
We are also looking for someone to help to take care of external spaces and to create cute areas (for e.g. flower beds, little slivers, creating together new little-big projects).
We also would have pleasure to know someone passionate to cook: to search new creative recipes using our natural products!
Whatever is your attitude, you can come to share it with us!
