    Description

    Hello! My name is Bugra.This is a small private homestead where we grow food and work on projects just for our own lifestyle,not as a business. I’m originally from Turkey and now a UK national, currently based in the beautiful Marche region of Italy.

    I am developing a small-scale natural farming project inspired by the philosophy of Masanobu Fukuoka, located near the village of Serra Sant’Abbondio, surrounded by mountains and peaceful countryside.

    This project is focused on working with nature rather than against it — using no-dig methods, encouraging biodiversity, and creating a simple, sustainable way of living.

    I’m looking for open-minded, motivated individuals who are genuinely interested in natural farming, permaculture, or off-grid lifestyles to join me for a meaningful cultural and practical exchange. Here we only produce organic food for our consumption.

    Help is mainly needed with:
    • Vegetable gardening using natural / no-dig methods
    • General land care and seasonal tasks
    • Light household support

    In exchange, I offer:
    • A calm and inspiring natural environment
    • The opportunity to learn and practice natural farming principles
    • Shared meals and a simple, community-oriented lifestyle
    • A chance to disconnect from busy life and reconnect with nature

    This experience is best suited for people who appreciate simplicity, enjoy being outdoors, and are curious about alternative ways of living 🌿

    If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, I’d be happy to hear from you!

A tomato plant growing outdoors is supported by wooden stakes. The plant has green leaves, some yellowing, and several ripe and unripe tomatoes visible.
This cozy bedroom has a double bed with a floral orange blanket, a single bed with a blue cover, wooden furniture, a ceiling fan, and a window.
