Description
We are an English speaking family living in Sardinia. Carl runs our small farm and a micro brewery, Carey is a painter and has an art school. For the past two years while we rebuilt our farmhouse we have not been hosting, but now we feel ready again!
We are vegetarians and run our land and lives as organically as possible.
Come and join us for a while to experience life on the land on a Mediterranean island. You can stay in a wagon or a comfortable bell tent, and there are bikes available for getting into the medieval town of Bosa or to the sea (4km away).
We normally expect help for half a day, five days a week. We all eat a big vegetarian lunch together but you would prepare your own breakfast and supper (provided).

Wesley was very helpful and willing, he came up with helpful ideas to solve processing problems. while he was here we harvested all our grains in a fairly medieval manner! when not working Wesley was always out and about exploring and making the most of his time in Sardinia. I recommend Wesley to anyone.

My time on Carey and Carl's land was great! They communicated the help they needed very clearly, and, more importantly, they were kind, generous, and wonderful people to spend time with. I would recommend them to seasoned or brand new Workawayer's.

Carl and Carey were great hosts to us. We spent three weeks with them. They we're good company and fed us great lunches. They are very easy to get along with. The work was varied from farm to brewery and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Bosa. We wish you all the best with the brewery and the plans with you house.
