Looking for a kind support to help a family on the Ligurian Alps in Italy

  Description

  We are Francesca and Daniele and we live in the Ligurian Alps, on the Ramaceto mountain surrounded by chestnut trees.
  Our family is composed by us, our children ( Rahel 10, Ian 8, Althea 2) , our dog Rohan, the cat Kali and a few chickens. Francesca is dedicated to the family herbs harvest and soap crafting , Daniele is a Biologist and works from home (but is also graduating i Counseling Mindfulness)
  We live at 800 meters above the see, level where Chiavari and Lavagna are located, approximately 40 minutes by car. Most popular touristic location are the 5 terre, approximately 1 hour away
  
  Being surrounded by nature is our choice and a privilege, but it requires quite an effort to maintain the location and gardening. In autumn we need to clean fallen leaves, harvest chestnuts and prepare for the winter. With the chestnuts, we produce our own flour that I use in pasta, sweets and bread productions. I also harvest saffron and berries (to produce jams and syrups).
  In the spring , we normally prepare our yard for gardening, but this is year is a bit challenging as we are busy with family duties and we are looking for some kind mates to support in renewing our yard for veggies.
  So if you are a nice, good vibing, free minded and enthusiastic soul, we will be delighted to host you with us and join our flow in our wonderful nest.
  
  Message us if you are interest and we'll be pleased to meet for a virtual chat
  
  Greetings,
  Daniele & Francesca
