Authentic farm experience between Bologna and Florence 🏕️🌄
The experience
We're a small organic farm on the hills, inside a protected natural reserve. We're creating a cozy agriturismo with a small restaurant 🍽️ and agricamping 🏕️. Volunteers live close to nature, help with animals 🐓, gardens, home kitchen support, and guest areas. Days are peaceful, with shared meals, woodland walks, wildlife, and beautiful trails.
Our volunteer program runs from May to October.
Join our farm life in a protected nature reserve!

Program Details
Our volunteer program runs from May to October and is based on sharing daily farm life in a calm and respectful environment. Activities change with the seasons and are always guided by us. This is a simple, human experience focused on nature, learning, and community.
We need help in different areas: some support with home vegetables garden, caring for chickens, dogs, cats, and a pony, assisting in the home kitchen, and maintaining the green areas used by guests.
Volunteers will stay in a small caravan or in a comfortable, fully furnished glamping tent with beds (4.5 m in diameter).
For breakfast and dinner, volunteers can use the guest cooking area, while lunches and weekend dinners are always shared together.
