** We are looking for workawayers in December between the 30/11 and the 20/12 - and starting to search for help in January, February and March for the pruning season**
Would you like to help inside a typical Tuscan countryside farm? You are highly welcome!
Hi, we are Carlo (1993) and Giada (1995) and together with our parents Armando and Karin we run a small organic farm in the hills between Florence and Arezzo, in Tuscany. On our land we produce limited quantities of wine and organic olive oil as well as growing fruit and vegetables to support our families, while we sell the surplus production to a local farmers' market. In the future we want to have our own chicken and maybe some other animals.
We love nature and like to respect it and stay in contact with it. Giada is a tireless reader and loves running: she is preparing to participate in her first marathon. Carlo is a dreamer, loves long walks in the mountains and is passionate about technology. Karin is an artist and owns a pottery workshop where she makes small sculptures and offers pottery courses. Armando, on the other hand, is an all-rounder, very interested in the world of plants and always curious about how things work.
The work in the fields is always very varied, ranging from pruning, weeding and managing the land to harvesting fruits and vegetables. Of course we will need help during the two harvests, the olives and the grapes. Sometimes some jobs require medium physical effort while many others are simple.
We all speak English and German, but we will be very happy to teach you some Italian and maybe also learn your language!
Our house is located in the Upper Arno Valley, between Florence and Arezzo only a few km from the nearest town. The place is really nice and not crowded at all. Florence can be reached by a 30 min drive and there is also public transportation like trains to Florence, Arezzo and Siena.
We are looking for people who can stay at least one week, but two weeks is the recommended period if you want to learn some Italian, some techniques and a lot more from our farm life. We offer a bedroom with bathroom and kitchen to cook your own meals and you will get a fair wage for every worked hour.
P.S. We are cat lovers, so at any time you can find some of our cats around, such as Dante, Virgilio, Libero and others!

Mainly by staying at our farm you will learn some technical skills related to daily farm tasks. In addition you could learn some Italian!
We live in a very nice valley between Florence and Arezzo so there are endless possibilities for exploring this wonderful part of Tuscany.El anfitrión ofrece una paga acorde al salario mínimo

Ayuda
As you may know in a farm there's always something to do. Such as: pruning, weeding, gardening, harvesting and general maintenance. In the summer days can get hot so we will try to adapt to the heat but some works need to be done anyway so keep that in mind.
We expect the workawayers to help maximum 25 hours a week (five hours for five days). We ask for a little flexibility as some days the working hours could be split or moved to the afternoon. You will receive a wage for every worked hour and extra working hours will be paid and communicated in advance.
Days off will usually be Saturday and Sunday, with some exceptions in harvesting season, and it will always be communicated in advance. This gives you the chance to go away for a couple of days if you so wish.

Alojamiento
We have a double bed flat with private bathroom and kitchen just a few minutes from the farm. Inside there is lots of space for clothes and personal belongings.
You also can use our garden with outside table and chairs to enjoy an evening meal or to see the beautiful sunset after a work day.
The apartment has a washing machine so you can clean your working clothes and dry them outside in the garden or inside with the provided drying rack.
Algo más...
We live between Florence and Arezzo, both reachable by train, bus or a 30 minutes drive if you travel by car. Near the place we stay you can have a lot of possibilities like trekking, visiting museums, going to shops and restaurants. We can give you hints, maps and general info during your stay.
Keep in mind that we live in the countryside, so a walk to the train station (7km) is not so do-able, but there are some buses in the afternoon and on Saturday that take you directly there. Sometimes we are able to give lifts, sometimes not.
Reachable by foot we have a small river, perfect for hot summer days, where you can jump in fresh water, a small pizzeria (always recommended) and a small bar open only in the late evening.
