Description
We are a couple who got stuck in Italy during the COVID period. We found ourselves stranded on a beautiful piece of land in Liguria, close to family. The lands are used as a vegetable garden and orchard, and for the cultivation of carob and olive trees.
After spending months here during the lockdown, we decided to change our lives and not return to the city permanently. We reorganized our work with a mix of in-person and remote working and decided to live amidst nature.
Our journey towards becoming closer to the environment, the garden, and cultivation is now mature, and we would love to one day open a farm. For now, we are a family that takes care of the land, and this year, we have also added chickens. We adore animals and are pushing ourselves further into self-production, from the garden to soap, pasta, and preserves.
We need volunteers to help protect this piece of land, keeping it clean and observed. We take care of the fruit trees, planting, fertilizing, the garden, the chickens, and all the regular activities, in addition to extraordinary ones like pruning and restoring dry stone walls.
We are at the beginning of this adventure and would like to share it with travelers from all over the world. We would prefer to have volunteers with experience in at least one or two of the tasks listed above. In exchange for a few hours of work a day, we can offer a sea view place to stay (From April to October). The accommodation includes eggs and vegetable from the garden, sleeping area and a living / cooking area, with a breathtaking sea view,
we are close to the most important climbing hicking and biking destinations in Liguria. You can go snorkeling, surfing, or kite surfing if lucky with the right weather conditions.
in 10 minute walk you will be at the sea and you can take bus or train to enjoy the palce around.
In short, there's really so much to discover around here. We are waiting for new friends!
