  • Description

    Description

    This is a Social Cooperative created by people who live and produce in mountainous areas. Our goal is to succeed in a Worthliving Development scheme in mountainous areas. Workawayers are for us a great way for reviving our villages, meeting new people, exchanging ideas, having feasts, and cooperating with our visitors. 

    Our members are farmers, livestock farmers, foragers, beekeepers, but also carpenters, artists and makers. 

    You will be hosted in our stone house in Demati and work in our prototype greenhouses. During your stay you will also have the opportunity to help local communities in their projects, visit different places and support people occupied in a great spectrum of activities.
