Il Germoglio
It is a magnificent place, surrounded by nature, between woods and fields.It is a perfect place for trekking, climbing and skiing. We love to learn with different cultures!
The project was created by me and my brother, 37 and 33 years old. The management is familiar, this is a place of passage for many people, friends, volunteers who come from all over the world. We are open-minded, we like to create new relationships, learn about new cultures and knowledge. We love music, play and create new!

About the experience in: Province of Reggio Emilia, Italy
United States
I had a wonderful experience with Alessio at germolgio farm. The area is beautiful, in the middle of the mountains with a stunning view. Alessio, was very welcoming and goofy. I had lots of fun moments with him, learned a lot, and ate some delicious meals! Alessio is an incredibly smart individual. I did struggle a bit with communication and at times it felt as though we weren't respecting each others time, but we had some effective conversations that helped us improve our relationship and scheduling. I highly recommend this experience if you like nature, cats, and want to get dirty!

Heartfelt thanks to Veronica for the month spent together; in this mutual exchange we shared a lot and learned a great deal, both of us.

Coming as my first worldpackers trip was one that I absolutely loved and so glad I did it. The environment was very welcoming
and they are such sweet people. I made new friends with other worldpackers that were also there at the same time. The food was amazing and the view is beautiful. Not only did I get the opportunity to learn italian cuisines but I also got to experience beekeeping. Their life made me reflect on my own; to slow down and enjoy it. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone as I will truly miss my stay with such lovely laidback people.

I had an excellent time taking the permaculture course. Alessio is very knowledgeable and i got to practice what he taught me in real time. My favorite part was getting to learn about beekeeping! Alessio and Maj Britt are both very welcoming, kind, and generous. For permaculture, you will stay in a tent with an air mattress. It is elevated so your belongings won’t get damaged if it rains. I found the temperatures to be comfortable during my stay in July.

My time with Alessio and Maj-britt was unforgettable. I learned SO MUCH about cooking, permaculture, and sustainable living, all while being in such an incredible place. Not only is the farm and property itself beautiful, the routine and vibe that they have created is truly ideal and makes for an unforgettable stay. If you go, you will have so many moments of peace, joy, and laughter. Whether you are going for cooking, permaculture, or to help around the farm, I cannot tell you how much i recommend this experience. You will love it!!

An experience I will carry with me for a long time. The team was so kind and informative as they walked me through home recipes, those of which we were able to play around with to our taste and resources. I also learned true standards to living sustainably and off grid. Weather was inconstant throughout my stay which caused the power to shut down a few times. But the home was always warm and well lit - reliant on sustainable resources. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in getting away from the city, especially with an interest in culinary and cultural integration
