    Description

    Ciao!
    We are Lele, Sam, Bea, and Laura we live together on an half an hectare farm right outside the walls of the town of Anghiari. We live according to permaculture principles in the social and economical environment as well as in gardening and food production.

    Lele is a passionate gardener with a particular focus on regenerative agriculture. During her free time she likes to practice yoga, reed books, dance, run and go for hicks.
    Sam brings his musical talents and craftsmanship to the group. His particular interest is in woodworking and general outdoor work.

    Bea and Laura are passionate about cooking and experimenting with fermented foods, especially kombucha and sourdough bread, and they focus on transforming the produce from our garden and orchard. Nuka, their dog, shares their passion for food!

    We are two separate small families, each with our own work, projects, and passions, but we love to co-create and share moments of work and enjoyment within this shared space. While we live in two cozy houses on the property, our paths intertwine through collaboration, creativity, and the simple joy of being together.

    Every Wednesday, we open our doors to the community: it’s a time of connection, collective work, and co-creation, where everyone can contribute and experience our daily life.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We come from different countries, bringing together a rich tapestry of multicultural backgrounds. We have all experienced life in eco-projects in various parts of the world.
    We focus on learning and experimenting with how to live according to a regenerative paradigm while staying connected to our surroundings.

    With us, you will have the opportunity to entertain interesting conversations, learn how to build things, care for plants and natural ecosystems, and rethink and discuss what you may have taken for granted until now. The idea at the base of this project is to try to become as self sufficient as possible so to be independent from the consumerism society.

    You will surely get to know the social environment around here, whether it's chatting with local farmers, visiting cool bars, or connecting with new friends!

    CURRENT AVAILABILITIES
    We’re looking for couples or pairs of friends WITH EXPERIENCE IN GARDENING AND FARMING for the following dates:

    - 8TH-22ND OF NOVEMBER
    You will live in the tiny house with independent bathroom and kitchen.

    - POSSIBLE HELP DURING WINTER

    - POSSIBLE LONG TERM from 2026.

    TYPE OF HELP:
    - Daily routines: feeding hens and ducks, walking the dogs, watering
    - Depending on the season the main tasks could be: harvesting and preserving food, maintenance of the veggie garden, weeding, mowing the grass, general garden work, etc.
    - Wednesdays are our open farm days: we work and eat all together.
    - We love when volunteers take on small creative or practical projects that add value to our shared space, like building simple furniture or decorations.

    IMPORTANT!!! We generally welcome only couples or pairs of friends, as we have jobs and projects outside of our house — this means you’ll have moments of independence and time on your own.

    OUR VALUES:
    We want to live and share our space with people who are excited about cooperating, co-creating, and expressing their emotions freely. We deeply value when people bring their passions, skills, and knowledge to share.
    Our project is still in its early stages, we have dreams and plans but are open to many kinds of contributions and ideas.

    IN EXCHANGE for your help, we offer:
    - Accommodation
    - Food from our farm (vegetables, fruits, olive oil, etc.)

    RESPONSES:
    We usually discuss all the requests in our meetings, and sometimes it may take a bit. If you need a fast response, please mention that clearly in the first lines of your message.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Our land is located right outside a small town called Anghiari, a medieval village in Tuscany. The house is situated between the old town center and the woods. You can easily reach us by bus and a short walk down the hill.

    We have a private guest room with a double bed and private bathroom. The kitchen is shared so you'll coordinate meal prep with us. Camping is also possible.

    Most of the food we eat comes either from our land or from local farmers. We like sharing cooking and sometimes going out for pizza or an aperitivo!

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Anghiari is one of the 100 most beautiful villages in Italy! This delightful Tuscan village is perched on a hill overlooking the upper Tiber valley.

    The town often hosts cultural and social events that bring the whole community to life. In the surrounding area, there are several rivers where we love to cool off in the warmer months!

    From Anghiari, buses connect you to the main city of Arezzo, where you can catch a train to many other Italian cities (Perugia, Florence, Siena, Rome, Bologna, etc.). The journey from Arezzo to Anghiari takes about 1 hour by bus or 30 minutes by car (note that there are not many busses on weekends).

    From our house, you can easily walk to town, where you’ll find shops and cafés, go hiking on marked paths, or cycle down to the Tiber River.
