The experience

We are an organic farm of 5 hectars in the Agrò Valley (Limina, Messina).
Our aim is to open soon an Eco-Camping, respecting nature, selfproducing organic food and using mostly products from our land. We produce extra virgin olive oil and have a vegetable garden where we grow many different types of greens. We want to live in harmony with nature and share our abundance with others. We eat mostly vegetarian.

Program Details

Works and tasks may depend a lot on the season.
In general we need help in gardening and taking care of the land, the plants, picking fruits and transfomr them in good jams or other.
Now, with the little Elio around, we may need help also with him! :)
Sometime we host guests and events, so we could need help also in the cleaning of the tents or organizing the space for the events.
We share the task of cooking for everybody and cleaning dishes.
Some building and painting projects may arise using recicled materials.

Work time is not fixed and can really depend on personal avalabilities, wishes, needs and actual projects going on.
Normally we ask for 4-5 hours of help per day that can be arrangend day by day.
During time off it is possible to go to the small waterfall close by (Cascate dell'Aranciara), to the sea (15 minutes by car) or nearest villages (S. Teresa di Riva, Savoca, Taormina, etc) or for different hikes in the Peloritani mountains.


Activities & Shift

We look for people interested in sustainable projects, permaculture and organic farming, willing to learn, share and improve with us our project.

We are learning by doing, so we are not professionals but we like to experiment different techniques and different approaches to our daily activities, welcoming anybody who feels like joining us in our adventures.

Tasks and works are changing day by day depending on the season, needs and people present at the moment.

We ask for FLEXIBILITY and ADAPTATION to random situations and needs may happen at the moment.
