The Experience

Scaket is a small organic farm in which Permaculture, Biodynamic, Synergistic and Regenerative farming works and reasons respecting Nature. With this philosophy, we cultivate vegetables, old fruits and some aromatics, managing everything with the help of our bees and our hens, ducks and geese free to roam under the orchards. We sell directly to the public and at local farmers' markets. The accommodation is about 2 km from the orchards.

I cannot describe how amazing our experience with Sasha was for us! Immediately we felt comfortable, working hours were 100% respected and he spent a lot of time educating and showing us about permaculture and his lovely hacienda 🫶🏼 He also was respectful and always tried to help us… I would always remember our beautiful month in Italy sharing delicious food and talking about bees and permaculture 💛

Sasha is a brilliant host, very attentive and dedicated, and always keen to share his knowledge. His project and the overall experience have far exceeded our expectations, which were already high to begin with. Everything mentioned in the volunteer role description is true, and the area is peaceful and very well connected for exploring the surrounding countryside. Volunteers are given plenty of free time and autonomy. It's also worth mentioning just how welcome Lorena and Ganassa have made us feel. It's been an experience I would definitely repeat.

It is a unique and highly recommended opportunity for those looking for an authentic experience. The experience was excellent, with Sasha being a very attentive and kind host. On the farm, there was learning about the relationship between nature and its processes, as well as a remarkable cultural immersion.

I had an incredible experience volunteering. Sasha is always kind and very attentive to the volunteers' needs. He explains very well how we should do the work and always respects the schedule. The work is diverse, depending on the day. When we're in the field, we also have the company of his big baby dog. The accommodation is excellent and with total privacy. His mother makes delicious cakes for us. I highly recommend the experience!

My stay at this farm was okay. Honestly it was not a warm welcome here for me and I tried doing my best working on the farm. It was my very first time working on a permaculture farm and Sasha didn't believe in me to do the work which was extremely disappointing and I didn't feel any encouragement to do things better from the host. There isn't much communication with the host and when he is talking about the farm work he doesn't even look at me but he looks at everyone else which I took as disrespectful. The house is nice and the free time is nice but don't expect to get to know Sasha much.

The volunteering project is based on an exchange, if you put in little, you get little back.
I am very sorry you didn't have a good experience.
Perhaps if you had shown a bit more effort and interest, you would have felt more involved.
