Description
We're a family of three living on an organic olive farm in the heart of Puglia, Italy. (Well, a family of four if you count the dog.) He's a musician and a writer. I'm a content marketer. Our son is a budding volcanologist and the dog is a dog.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Help with Eco Projects
Gardening
Farmstay help
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We're a trilingual household and are happy to speak exclusively in English (I'm an American and a native speaker); or in French or Arabic. Workaways will also have full access to our organic olive farm - we just don't expect them to work on it unless they so desire!
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We're looking to host anyone interested in learning more about organic farming and willing to help out on the land. Tasks would primarily involve helping us to tend the larger fields, re-pot certain plants we cultivate for food and decor and assist with watering. (Think of it as a garden - if the garden were 2 hectares.)
If you're more indoors-y, we'd also appreciate help with basic chores. No heavy housework or deep cleaning, more in the neighborhood of vacuuming, sweeping, dusting.

Accommodation
Private room with shared bath. Wifi, oscillating fan. The room includes a double bed, desk, and full wardrobe. Access to a bike for beach visits.
What else ...
We're located ten minutes from the beach by bike and are happy to help you arrange visits to local attractions like Ostuni, Martina Franca, Lecce, and Polignano.
We're both remote workers and fairly introverted, but love opening our home to others. In our spare time, we like to read, make music (on two pianos and a guitar) and cook. After professional careers in NYC, Paris, and Dubai, we moved here to be closer to nature and enjoy time with our son.
