The farm is next to a lagoon and is in the south of Corfu. It is surrounded by beautiful scenery and a peaceful environment, which is a protected site of natural heritage (NATURA 2000). You may wonder around the 70 acres of our estate in the olive groves (about 2000 trees) and vegetable gardens (about 1000 sqm ). We have 1 Greek horse, 1 donkey, a few sheep, chickens, ducks, 2 pigs and a few dogs and cats.
In the farm we cultivate organic olives, season vegetables, therapeutic herbs and we are beekeepers. We run 2 tourist accommodations (farm houses) and the organic restaurant.
We are a five person family, that the most of the year we are all living here.

The farm is outside of Vraganiotika (2kms), without neighbours. Vraganiotika is a small traditional village. There are about 150 inhabitants. It's near the sea, the altitude is 80 mettres! Also in 5 km far of the farm, there is big village called Moraitika. There the volunteers can find restaurant, pharmacy and everything they need. During the summer Moraitika its a very touristic place. There are busses from Vraganiotika to Corfu town (the capital of the island, 25 kms away) about every one or two hours (it depends of the season)
