  Description

  Hi I'm Franz, I live with my wife Diana and my two sons of nine(twins) Camilla and Ulisse. We live in a farm surrounded by woods and meadows on the mountain in Italy between tuscany and emilia romagna. We are beekeepers fo passion and I love play music. We have a little businnes with bee products but our principal job is as educator with people with mental deasese (not in our farm). In our farm we have a lot of plants, some fruit trees and a little vegetable garden. We are ultimating a big fence for a large vegetable garden , more fruit trees and a little chicken farm. I am interested to the "no dig approach" (I did some experiments). We use wood to warm our house. We don't need formed workers for payed tasks in the beekeeping businnes but we want exchange hospitality with simple tasks in the maintenance of garden and of the house. Thanks and see you soon.
