Program Details

I need help with everything general from land clearing, moving wood, large stones, building fences, painting, garden work and planting/ watering vegitables, building pathways etc
You must be fit, strong and healthy, the work is very physical. Also you must have some Gardening knowledge or building knowledge, this is not suitable for city people.
Volunteers must be animal friendly and willing to muck in with the animals and take the dogs for a walk. I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and chickens, goats.
I cook a big lunch every day where we eat together and the rest of the day you are free. It's very informal here, you have your own space and privacy.
Gallinaro is a small viallage with no public transport so there is plenty of time to relax and unwind and be one with Nature.


Activities & Shift

We start to work in the morning from 7am to 12/1pm, around 4/5hrs a day followed by Lunch. We generally all work together on a range of different tasks every day. So no day is the same. 5 days a week, 2 free days.
Afternoons and Evenings are your own unless we jointly decide to make plans.


Rules

I will provide food like, meat, pasta 🍝 vegetables 🌽 bread, eggs, no problem 👍🏻 but gluten free and vegan 🙄 they may need a cooking contribution.

*You must to have Travel Insurance* and *absolutely NO smokers* sorry.
