    Description

    We are a regenerative farm and we are looking for people to volunteeer on our property in a variety of activities, including permaculture gardening, harvesting, dry stone wall-building, land clearing, construction, renovation and preserving. We can also teach you how to brine olives, make kombucha, pizza, foccaccia and various pickles. You will be staying at our property, a non-profit family home. We ask that you work 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. (Weekends are off)
    We offer accommodation, breakfast, snack and a great lunch.

    If this sounds good to you, please get in touch to arrange a call.

    The hosting family
    We both have a long background in teaching, artistic, literary and community projects. We love to discuss current affairs as much as being silly and having a laugh. We love dancing, singing and cooking around the fire pit.
    English is the common language spoken. We also speak Italian.

    The Area
    Unique area as we have both seaside and mountain. Also famous for a long cycling path by the sea, we have bikes to use.

    Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

    Liguria is a wonderful place, with a rich and interesting culture. The Maritime Alps are in the southwestern part of the Alps, and the area is famous for its glorious beaches, excellent weather and unique eco system. Hiking, kayaking, cycling, whale watching… we’ve got it all! We are very close to the Italian border, and roughly 1.5 hours from both Nice and Genova. There are many interesting and alternative villages in the area. You will have plenty of opportunity to exchange ideas about one planet living, European eco village networks, and creative cultural dissent.
    We are a relaxed and sociable bunch. We expect you to do your share of work, and then have yourselves a good time. We are open to people of all nationalities and gender.

    We have recently moved into our property, a renovated rustico, set on 21,000 sq. metres of land, abundant in olive, fig and orange trees, plus dozens of baby fruit trees, vines, and aromatic herbs. In this first phase, we need help to maintain and clear the land, to renovate and build new structures. Our particular focus in the next months is dealing with erosion on the hill above the house, by repairing walls, flattening land and planting vetiver grass to hold the soil in place. It will be quite hard physical work, but very satisfying. A crash course in anti erosion and water management practices.
    We are learning by experimenting with permaculture, no-dig and food forest planting.
    Other needs are weeding, pruning, mulching, repairing drystone walls, laying paths and general maintenance. Artists and cultural collaborators are also welcome!

    Hébergement

    We have several places for you to stay.
    1) A snug split-level building next to our house, equipped with bathroom, kitchen, electricity.
    This would suit a couple or two friends.
    2) A fully equipped small camper van, with electricity and kitchen area.
    3) A secluded tent spot, for Summer visits.
    4) A converted stable. This is a shared location, pretty basic, but with kitchen and space for 2/3 to sleep.

    We live up a narrow winding road, so no vehicles larger than a VW T5 can access us. We have parking space, but would need to discuss your needs together.
