2025 PREVIEW OF ACTIVITIES ON OUR FARM!!!
This year will bring lots of changes and novelties to our Farm and we are really looking forward to sharing these experiences with all the enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers out there!!
We'll need help with general gardening, weeding, trimming, cleaning the underwood.
Volunteers will help us to set up and nurture our vegetable gardens and take part in our ROSE PETAL HARVEST !!
We'll need help in preparing the land, setting up the allotments and sowing the seeds of what will become our summer vegetable gardens.
With the petals we pick we will make rose syrup and rose jam as well as other tasty food :-)
Furthermore, we are always looking for volunteers willing to give a hand with:
- fruit and vegetable gathering
- making jams, syrups, dried herbs, cooked fruit
- general cleaning and tidying up
- and much more :-) !!
Our center is the ideal place for the type of people and tourism that is at one with nature.
Set in a rural park that has been reclaimed from general decay thanks to natural architecture and Feng Shui, we are situated at 515 m a.s.l., just 30mins way from both the Chiavari coast and the mountains of Santo Stefano d'Aveto.
Embracing 25 hectares of woodland, our organic farm has pastures, vegetable gardens, fruit orchards and farm animals such as Corto the dog, Leonida, Fatturina and Peluche the cats, Nestore the wild pig and a hen house full of chickens, ducks and Polpetta the turkey.
We pay constant attention to Nature and Wellbeing and are part of the WWF and Responsible Tourism networks. We offer genuine top quality products, eco-sustainable holidays, personal development seminars, as well as intercultural and traditional events, and we host Workawayers who want to experience working with others in nature, with respect for each others' different points of view. Workawayers won't be helping with any business-related tasks, such as helping in spaces for paying guests or with produce sold.
In our Holistic Wellness farm you will also find
- People's University, specialized in non-formal and experiential education, that gives traineeship opportunities to Erasmus students and students from all over the world
- Foundation, specialized in the study and implementation of Common Law lifestyle practices to build and create stronger collaboration and networking in the local and international communities
- We offer some workshops about our Italian food culture, especially about how to prepare Italian spaghetti with egg pasta, some special desserts and agricultural cooking and pastry techniques.
- We participate all together to some main events related to the local traditions around the place
We ask all those who want to contribute to our project to come for a minimum period of 2 weeks, as
experience has taught us that this is minimum period necessary for both our place and volunteers to gain the most from our experience together. You can extend your period here without any limit.
We look forward to hosting you! A presto!
Fabio&Antonella
