    Description

    Hello!
    We are Irene, Peter and our son Oliver who is almost 3 years old... plus a little one on the way in a few months.

    Peter is from the USA, from Albuquerque NM while I was born and raised in Florence, lived abroad and now we have moved into the house that belonged to my grandparents.

    We live on a farm in the countryside of the province of Grosseto in Tuscany and we run an educational farm, agritourism and agricultural company that also hosts social agriculture projects, half an hour from the sea. You can search us -ask me for the link- to learn more about our reality!

    We can't wait to host you!

    Ciao!
    Siamo Irene, Peter e nostro figlio Oliver di quasi 3 anni... più una piccola in arrivo tra qualche mese.

    Peter viene dagli USA, da Albuquerque NM mentre io sono nata e cresciuta a Firenze, vissuto all'estero e ora ci siamo trasferiti nella casa che era dei miei nonni.

    Viviamo in un podere nella campagna della provincia di Grosseto in Toscana e gestiamo una fattoria didattica, agriturismo e azienda agricola che ospita anche progetti di agricoltura sociale, a mezz'ora dal mare. Potete cercarci per scoprire di più sulla nostra realtà!





    Non vediamo l'ora di ospitarvi!

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are an intercultural and bilingual family, we love to travel and host people from all over the world and share with them knowledge about what we do at the farm and what we have studied and about life in general.

    We are open to new ideas and advice on what can be improved in life and on the farm.

    We have had experiences with several woofers and they have been very interesting and pleasant.

    Workawayers will be part of our family sharing an important period of our life, challenging from some points of view, of novelty and joy!

    We hope to be able to learn from you wordawayers other ways of seeing the world and living life, a new culture from every point of view (culinary, organizational, playful), to receive help and advice and to share spring and summer together.

    Siamo una famiglia interculturale e bilingue, amiamo viaggiare e ospitare persone da tutto il mondo e condividere con loro conoscenze circa quello che facciamo al podere e abbiamo studiato e sulla vita in generale.

    Siamo aperti a nuove idee e consigli su quello che può essere migliorato nella vita e nel podere.

    Abbiamo avuto esperienze con diversi woofers e sono state molto interessanti e piacevoli.

    I workawayers saranno parte della nostra famiglia condividendo un periodo importante della nostra vita, sfidante sotto alcuni punti di vista, di novità e allegria!

    Speriamo di poter imparare da voi wordawayers altri modi di vedere il mondo e vivere la vita, una nuova cultura sotto ogni punto di vista (culinario, organizzativo, ludico), di ricevere aiuto e consigli e di condividere la primavera e l'estate insieme.
