Description

Hi I'm Sumithra
I'm a happy fun loving 55 year old that loves outdoors. I joined a CSA organic vegetable farm in 2015 here in the UK (been living here for 22 years) and fell in love with farming and all things related. This has transformed me and made me a better person learning new skills, meeting new people and learning as I go along.
I work full time in the National Health SERVICE as a dietitian and food plays a major role in my job too!
I would love to volunteer in Italy in organic farms, vineyards, help with canning and jam making etc as I do adore the people and the culture during my visits there (similar to my own as I have been born and brought up in India) on holidays.
Cooking (no surprise there!) is my major interest but still willing to learn other cuisines.
I'm available to volunteer between 9th Sept - 18th Sept 2023.
