Eco project/farmstead in Cefalù, Sicily

  Descrição

  NOTE: We ask for 1 month minimum commitment (to be confirmed upon arrival) so that we know each other better and find a harmonious work/living balance.
  
  After many years of quiet introspection, observation and participating in the world mostly from an ecological standpoint, we continue to believe that living as close to nature as possible is the answer to many, if not all of our problems!
  That's why we work most of the day and most of the week, cultivating awareness towards all of our actions and relationships. And by relationships we mean not only with other people, but with the ground beneath us and the sky over our heads, to all that in between.
  
  We are Uba (Palermitano), Zara (Sicula-Australiana) and our 1 year old son. The project is ultimately the result of a continual search for answers to many important life questions. This led to much personal exploration, as well as environmental/ecological exploration which includes many experiences in permaculture, regenerative agriculture, bio-costruction and community initiatives.
  
  We share 3 hectares of land with 2 dogs, our beloved goats, and a bunch of chickens. The land is full of spontaneous edible plants, olive, citrus, grape, and fruit trees, and part of our work is maintaining and expanding this abundance. We grow vegetables during the winter and summer, aiming to satisfy all of our needs. Meaning, if it’s not growing in the garden we aren’t going to buy it either!
  Day by day we are always looking to introduce good habits to our life, which is relative to the persistence and consistency of our daily work. We like to start the day early together and hopefully finish the day together, around the dinner table, sharing food and reflecting on the time spent!
  
  The comfort we aim to provide here is thanks to the work of those volunteers and friends who have been here before you. Taking care means giving those who come after you, better conditions than before.
  
  Considering that we try to consume as much possible as we manage to grow and produce, we collect our water to drink, knead and bake bread, make cheese, wine and much more, we ask that whoever wants to participate, does with sensitivity in every form of consumption. We encourage use and discourage abuse.
  
  So keep in mind that the best way to approach this project is to participate actively and take into consideration that coexistence requires personal work from everyone involved, and our main goal is to always create a safe and open space to do so.
  We feel a strong desire to share our lifestyle, to help facilitate this transition for those who want to return to a life closer to nature, in which ever way that might look like.
  
  If you feel like joining us and helping to bring this project forward, we are happy to hear from you!

  Acomodação

  In summer, the sleeping arrangements will be in tents that are provided. For the rest of the year there are indoor spaces. If it makes a lot of difference to you, please just ask us before arriving.
  There is a shared kitchen and bathroom. Our living space is definitely limited, but in many we keep it more cosy!
  Please only bring biodegradable/soaps and natural hygiene products.
  We share three homegrown/cooked meals per day. We personally love to cook for our volunteers, and hopefully share our deep love for the richness of this land and it’s food culture.

  Algo mais...

  We are located 5km from the town of Cefalù, it is not so easy to reach on foot but in the summer we often go to the beach together.
  We rest on Saturday afternoons and Sundays, but we are open to special arrangements. This project is very suited to people who really want to get involved and live like we live (which involves a lot of work), and have an opportunity to experience the reality of working with the land.
