  -Preparing breakfast in the morning (7-8 AM);
  -Setting the tables (breakfast, lunch and dinner);
  -Once or twice days a week we may organize events in the evening such as cinema, theatre, music, and theme nights, so we would need help with the organization of the events: setting the tables, helping with the decoration, serving the food and putting everything back in place after the event.
  -helping with the organic vegetable garden, and organizing the Cascina.
  
  -Breakfast is at 7:30-8:30, so you have to get up early.
  -We have lunch at 12.30 and then we take a break after lunch until 2:30 pm.
  -Normally there are 2 workawayers so in the morning you help in general maintenance of the house and in the afternoon you are free to take a break or getting to know the surroundings. In case there is availability on the building site (always depending on the tutor's need) you are invited to participate on our workshops.
