I am Mariantonietta and together with my family we manage a cattle, sheep and goat farm, in Altamura, in the Altamurgia park. With the milk of our animals we produce cheese. We are looking for volunteers who want to help us in caring for the animals and in the company dairy. In addition to the volunteer part, I will be happy to tell you stories, local traditions and let you taste dishes of our culinary tradition.

If you want to connect with nature and love animals, this place is definitely for you. From playing with and petting the dogs and cats to seeing newborn calves, it's such a wonderful experience. Plus, you can explore different areas and meet local people who share their beautiful culture with you. They're always kind and have incredible energy. I highly recommend it and hope to return in the future.

This was my first volunteering experience, and I absolutely loved it! Mariantonietta and her family made me feel very welcome. The work with all the different animals was so much fun and very easy. We often finished early and if there was nothing left to do, we had extra free time. For our days off, she gave us great recommendations for nearby cities. She also always invited us to join her for local events or to meet her friends, which was really nice. I would love to come back in the future.

I had a great time volunteering here. The live on the farm is nice and chill. Mariantonieta, Vito and all the animals made my feel very confortable here. I have enjoyied the company of other volunteers while working and staying. And outside of the farm we had good parties, great food, and trips to explore beautifull towns during our time off. Thank you!

I couldn't have wished for a better first experience as working as a volunteer! Mari and her family da fantastic job at making you feel part of their family and community and you can really learn a lot regarding nature and actively participating in local and social events. She and her father share and exude the same passion for this type of work on the farm and it was very lovely to work with such a variety of different animals. I would definitely recommend this experience for everyone who's interested in getting in touch with nature and the local life of the south of Italy!

Great great great! It's a very social environment where you'll get to meet lots of locals (Mariantonietta is very popular!). You'll learn a lot about Pugliese culture and are encouraged to visit all lovely towns around the area. And of course, plenty of interaction with animals, and unlimited access to cheese (best ricotta I've ever tried) and other delicious produce xp And if you are into history, I recommend sharing a coffee with Vito every day :)
