Program Details

EN
We are looking for volunteers to join us from April through October.

This experience is about actively taking part in the daily rhythm of a regenerative agricultural project. You’ll join a family that has chosen to live close to nature, following the seasons and natural cycles.

We focus on producing healthy, nutrient-rich food while improving soil fertility and biodiversity. The approach is practical, hands-on, and educational, ideal for anyone curious about regenerative agriculture.

You are encouraged to bring curiosity, initiative, and openness. Skills and interests are welcome and can be integrated into the project through concrete ideas and shared experimentation.

We provide a 4-person caravan with a veranda to accommodate volunteers. Inside the caravan, there is a kitchen for the volunteers' use, where you will prepare all your meals except for shared meal times.

Siamo alla ricerca di volontari per il periodo che va da aprile fino ad ottobre.

Questa esperienza è pensata per chi desidera vivere in prima persona il ritmo quotidiano di un progetto agricolo rigenerativo. Entrerai a far parte di una famiglia che ha scelto di vivere a stretto contatto con la natura, seguendo le stagioni e i cicli naturali.

Il nostro obiettivo è produrre cibo sano migliorando la fertilità del suolo e la biodiversità. L’approccio è pratico, concreto e formativo, ideale per chi vuole approfondire l’agricoltura rigenerativa.

Accogliamo con piacere competenze, interessi e idee da integrare nel progetto.

Mettiamo a disposizione una roulotte da 4 posti con veranda per ospitare i volontari. All'interno della rouolotte c'è una cucina a uso dei volontari, con la quale si prepareranno tutti i pasti, salvo momenti di pasti condivisi.
