Descripción
The farm was established in 2011 with a vision of efficient self-sustainability. We are located in the Trebbia Valley, which Ernest Hemingway described as 'the most beautiful valley in the world.' We host events, produce lavender and its derivatives (primarily essential oil), and provide boarding for horses. A few years ago, we also started a permaculture project. Our approach is always eco-friendly, making the most of the resources available on the farm.
This year marks our eleventh anniversary of hosting volunteers.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

Here’s the revised version of your text:
Our farm is situated atop a hill, 600 meters above sea level, offering a breathtaking landscape. The nearest village, with shops and bars, is 9 km away, and there is no public transport service connecting our farm to the village. During their free time, helpers can explore the surrounding mountains or walk down to the river for a swim.
To ensure a genuine help exchange experience, we kindly request that helpers commit to a minimum stay of TWO WEEKS.
The common language spoken among helpers and hosts on the farm is English.Ayuda

- August 2024 : Building straw-clay panels to use later as a dry walls. Done!

- Mid October 2024: An external company (not us) is constructing the wooden frame up to the roof. (done)
- NOVEMBER 2024: Self-construction of the house begun.
- end of 2024: filling external walls with straw bales (done).
2025:
finishing some corpentery details, building internal walls with the clay panels we made last summer,
clay coating internal walls,
Lime coating external walls,
floors... and everything else.
In addition to house construction, here are the regular tasks:
- Spring: Maintenance of fences and paddocks, and general repairs. Grass cutting and the construction of a new watering system for the garden are also planned. Gardening activities will continue as usual.
- Autumn: Maintenance and firewood collection in preparation for winter, along with various construction projects.
Due to the construction, we will only harvest a small portion of our lavender field this year.
We always welcome artists and musicians.
Please note that this year, we do not have riding horses available.Idiomas hablados

Here's your refined text:
Accommodation for helpers consists of a room with two (or more) beds, equipped with a fire stove for the colder months.
Helpers typically dine with the hosts, who primarily prepare Italian cuisine. While our diet is mostly vegetarian, we are not strictly vegetarian; however, vegetarians have never encountered issues with our meals. We appreciate a degree of flexibility. Helpers are always encouraged to cook and share their own traditional dishes, which is greatly appreciated.Algo más...

He will always be welcome on our farm.
Hope to see you again someday!
