  Descripción

  This is a non-profit cultural association set up to educate and promote ecological awareness through 'learning by doing'. Tiziana, Jorg and Shak are the association's officers.
  
  It has set out to transform a traditional farm into a self-sustainable one based on regenerative agriculture and permaculture practices. We believe it is essential to learn to live in harmony with nature and have set out to create a sustainable self-sufficient community built by and for eco-travelers - a survival lifeboat for when the consumer economy is no more.
  
  It welcomes eco-conscious travellers and offers residencies and the opportunity to share knowledge and learn about sustainable life-style choices, no-dig vegetable gardening, food forests, composting and biomass recycling. We are always keen to learn about practical ways to reduce our carbon footprint and the life-style changes that can be made to do this.
  
  The farm covers three hectares (nine acres) with traditionally planted olive trees, a vineyard, fruit trees and a magnificent area suitable for vegetable gardening.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Meal times are important moments in the cultural life of the farm and an opportunity for good conversation and conviviality, as well as practical daily planning and communication. Food is of central importance in Italian culture and we hope you will learn to appreciate and enjoy the Italian “tavolata”.
  
  Creativity and curiosity are greatly valued here and musicians, artists and creative craft persons are particularly welcomed. Various musical instruments, arts and crafts materials are available for guests to practice or acquire new talents.

  Paid Position: As part of our youth employment generation project, we are looking for someone to set up a pallet re-cycling workshop. The person must have prior experience necessary to equip and train young people to safely dismantle pallets and convert the recycled wood into marketable items. We offer minimum wage for this assistance.
  
  If you are not an EU Citizen and planning to visit Italy to work, volunteer or study, you will need the correct Visa.
  
  In compliance with Workaway’s policy for organisations and local labour and visa regulations , we offer a monetary wage. This wage is guaranteed to be at least the Italian minimum wage for every hour worked. As we still encourage shared meals as a vital part of our cultural exchange, please note that because we pay a wage, helpers are expected to contribute to food expenses.
  
  We will discuss and agree upon all specific wage details, taxes, and social security contributions directly with you before your arrival. For non EU Citizens please ensure you have the correct visa, work permit, and insurance required to receive a wage in Italy.

  Alojamiento

  We will provide you with vegetarian breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a private or shared room with an ensuite bathroom.
  
  The environment and personal lifestyle choices are a major issue of concern at the farm. Compost toilets are used to save on water consumption and recycle human waste. Solar heating is used to provide hot water and so only available when the sun shines. There is a wood-fired central heating system which keeps the bedroom temperatures between 15-19°C.
