Description
Hi, I'm Marco, I'm 26 and I finished my studies in agriculture. Now I'm working as agronomist in regenerative agriculture helping many farmers all over Italy with advanced satellite key-line designand and many other fancy techniques. I travel a lot for work so for me it's difficult to have people for long periods, unless they can stay few days a week alone (and I know that's not nice)
It's four years now that I started a project on my grandfather's old farm after it's been abbandoned for serveral years. Now, after some years of experiments I'm ready to turn it into a productive farm. I'd like that the farm would be entirely menaged as an agroforest following the principles of regenerative agricolture.
I'm planning to write a blog to show everybody the new technics I'm applying and developing.
I am trying to do it but it's very difficult alone, so if you want to help me it would be simply great!

Accommodation
At the moment we are renovating the house by our hands so this would be a place for adaptable people still for part of 2019. There is WI-FI in the house but you may share the appartment and the bathroom with oher workawayers. In summer it's possible to camp in a tent, we have 2 small ones.
We are tring to recycle and reuse as much as possible.
We think the best would be starting with a flexible 3-5 days trial period and then, if you like the place and we come along, decide togheter for a longer stay.
When you'll contact me, if you have any issue with the type of accomodation just tell us and we'll try to do our best to arrange the space on a confortable way for everybody. There is also the opportunity to park a small camper van.
You can enjoy the meals with us or cook by yourself if you want to be more independent smetimes.
If you have any questions about the accomodation or something else please just ask.
