Descrição
We have a little organic farm in a small mountainvillage near Lucca, Tuscany,Italy. We are a family of children (13, 10 and 7 years) and their parents (Michela, 39 and Josef, 45). We are principally olive farmers, but we produce also vegetables, fruits and other things. We have some few animals (2 ponys, 1 dog, 3 cats and 5 chickens).

Projetos que envolvem crianças
Este projeto pode envolver crianças. Para mais informações, veja aqui nossas diretrizes e dicas.
Ajuda
We need mostly in spring and autumn help at the farm, sometimes also in summer. Depending of the season work is very varied (seeding, care for and harvest fruits and vegetables, care for the animals, constructing things, cutting grass, making wood and much more).
Sometimes we need help with babysitting.
In Octobre and novembre is the time of olive harvest, where we also need a hand.
We offer three meals a day and we would like that the workaywayers help with cooking or cook one of the main meals (lunch or dinner)

Last but not least we have also a lot of space in the garden and we can offer you one of our tents.

We live in a small town between Lucca and Pisa at the edge of a forest. You can walk to the next busstation to reach for example Pisa, Lucca, Florence, the sea, the mountains and much more in about 30 minutes, but with a bit of flexibility you can go with us by car, we do the way often a day to bring the kids to school etc...
