We are Angela, Gaia, and our doggess Luz and Aeon.
We live in the middle of a wood 850 meters high and we take care of a little bit more of an hectar. Our house is an old barn that we renovated using only natural materials like clay, straw, sheep whool and lime. We did two mass heating stoves for cooking, heating the house and hot water.
We are offgrid (photovoltaic panel and, when necessary, a generator). There are two composting toilet, one outdoor one indoor. The garden is organic.
We sometimes co-operate with other farmers giving and sharing work and knowledge.
We'll ask you to live the car in the village where we can pick you up. So when you'll need to reach your car or the village you'll have a walk. There is no wi-fi.

Carnia (this region) is a mountain region, rich of possibility for walking in the Nature. You can visit museums (geological, etc) as like find local chees or shepard fairs.
Angela is a teacher of natural building materials.
We're training (we and our doggess) with the Civil Protection to rescue people that get lost in the wood, therefore, if you would like, you can come training with us and pretend you get lost and we'll come and search for you.
Depending on the season, we work on the gardens: (seeding, weeding) we do hay or we chop the wood. We also keep on going with external renovation of the house, or work on the phytodepuration plant. Also we'll soon start a mushroom greenhouse.

We'll host the Workawayers in a caravan on our land with no running water. If you have a tent and you prefer you can camp with your tent. The accomodation is therefore a kind of camping site accomodation with outdoor composting toilet and an out shower. Please take with you your sleeping bag and towels. We'll share breakfast, lunch and dinner together in our home. One of us is vegetarian, the other meatetarian (lol) and we both like fish, if you have any food limitation please tell us, we love learning new ways to cook food.
Helpers in their time off can relax, walk in the wild nature or cycling. Our place is one kilometer (20 minutes walking) from the closest village where is a bar. To reach us there are 500 mt offroad.
