We are a 100% vegan Italian couple who have transformed a corner of Salento into a sustainable lifestyle project. While we don't live permanently on the farm, we're there every day to cultivate, learn, and share this adventure with other nature lovers.
We have a plot of land among centuries-old olive trees and dry stone walls, located in Trepuzzi [approximate location, e.g., 15 minutes from Lecce or near the Adriatic coast].

Détails du programme

Welcome to our small sustainable lifestyle project in the heart of Salento, southern Italy!

We are a vegan Italian couple who transformed a peaceful piece of land surrounded by centuries-old olive trees and traditional dry-stone walls into a place of cultural exchange, nature connection, and simple living.

We grow olives, fruit trees, and organic vegetables using traditional and natural methods — without chemicals and only for personal use with family and friends. Volunteers are invited to join us in daily activities connected to the land, sustainability, and animal care while experiencing authentic rural life in Puglia.

You may learn about:

Organic gardening and soil care
Olive grove maintenance and seasonal harvesting
Composting and sustainable living practices
Wild herbs and edible plants from the area
Traditional Salento culture and food
Vegan cooking with fresh ingredients from the garden

We also enjoy relaxed evenings together with movie nights under the stars, local festivals, music sessions 🎶, and conversations around the fire 🔥.

Animal lovers are especially welcome! We share the land with: 1 horse, 1 donkey, 4 dogs, 6 cats, 1 friendly pig, 3 turtles.

Accommodation is simple but comfortable. Volunteers can stay in a private caravan with beds, electricity, outdoor seating area, and access to a shared bathroom with hot shower. Those traveling with their own tent are also welcome to camp on the land.

Breakfast and lunch are self-managed with ingredients we provide, and several evenings per week we prepare shared vegan dinners together using fresh local produce.

This is a beautiful opportunity for travelers looking to reconnect with nature, learn sustainable practices, and experience genuine cultural exchange in southern Italy. 🌍

Règles

We want everyone to feel comfortable, respected, and connected with nature during their stay.

Our expectations are simple:

Respect the land, animals, shared spaces, and local environment
Keep accommodation and common areas clean and organized
Communicate openly and honestly if any issue comes up
Participate with a positive and collaborative attitude
Be mindful of water and energy consumption
Respect quiet and peaceful moments, especially at night
Animal kindness and gentle behavior are essential

We are smokers, so travelers should be comfortable with that environment.

We are also happy to host digital nomads and travelers with campervans.

This is not a commercial farm or luxury retreat — it’s a small personal project built with passion, simplicity, creativity, and love for sustainable living. We hope volunteers arrive with curiosity, openness, and willingness to share experiences as part of a temporary family.
