Description
Hi everyone! Sorry I'm now just in a small break with volonteers. Can answer with big delay. Thank you for understanding. Come back soon!
Hi there! My name is Misha. I am an enthusiastic and open-minded person living off-grid in the mountains. I'm in the south of Sardinia inside an amazing and huge beautiful park - forest "Sette Fratelli" (the location at the map is wrong). Our small zone is called San Pietro Paradiso. I started this project in 2019. The beautiful land is more than 5 hectares all mountain landscape, and the surroundings are filled with many different types of trees (like eucalyptus, pine, oak (cork), almonds, etc); animals, small brooks and water springs.
The idea of this project is to creating an eco-sustainable place, in harmony with nature and creating and improving a forest garden.
Here we do gardening, work in the forest, work with the land, creating terraces, stone walls, build constructions, and do very simple stuff. I'm also a beekeeper so there are beehives and many bees here.
I focus on eco-sustainable living, rural lifestyle, rewilding, permaculture, simplicity, producing our own honey and food from planting and the forest as well as making natural products, growing bee families every year, doing organic farming, eco-constructions i.e. earth houses, wooden cabins, teepees, yoga, and wholesome living. There are dogs, cats, chickens here and they are part of the family. We are almost vegan / vegetarian here.
It is an isolated place without electricity (but I have it nearby in the area when we need it), public transport and with little mobile signal (it depends on your mobile operator, I have TIM/Kena and my signal is ok). I have water from the spring and I heat it for making tea, cooking and washing when we need it. Solar panels, water heating system are also part of the plan. Every month and every year here with the passion we making life better, in a sustainable way.
There are a lot of physically demanding chores to do like working with the trees, fencing, preparing the land for the cabins, creating terraces, planting trees, building wooden or earth houses, moving rocks, improving our water system, creating or improving the garden, beekeeping, working with cork, etc... so many interesting stuff to do and it depends on the season!
This part of Sardinia is very beautiful and also there are archeological sites here from Nuragic civilization and other periods. There are a lot of animals here like sardinian deer, wild boar, fox, rabbit, many types of birds, etc.
I speak Italian, Russian, English.
2022 plan update:
- Some construction work (wooden cabins, some small constructions, etc).
- We are clearing some eucalyptus trees to help the local flora grow stronger.
-Creating some terraces with stone walls for wooden cabins and different constructions.
- Permaculture earthworks (autumn winter season). We are working with the land creating a permaculture design (terraces, dams, swales) step by step creating sustainability and helping trees grow bigger faster and better. Planting trees, creating a vegetable patch.
- Also there are always different types of work when you are living off grid.
- Etc..

Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
Manual rural chores; from practical labour to creating an earth or wooden home; help in the garden; beekeeping (when it is the season). Sometimes it's hard work. Rather than a farm environment, you learn to adapt yourself to wild natural living.

If you have your own tent / hammock it's good. I can share my tent also, I have enough space inside my tent. I have blankets to sleep warm if you need it. In my tent I have a stove inside and I use it sometimes. It's important to understand that I am completely off-grid here.
We occasionally go to my family's rural house nearby in the area. We can take a hot shower there, wash clothes if we need it, etc...
I provide simple vegan food and honey. I can cook or you can cook if you want or we can cook or fast together:).What else ...
The place is in the mountains and about 35 km from the city. I will pick you up from Cagliari or at the PF bus stop "Flumini". We will occasionally visit the city and the shops.
