Help our farm and enjoy Italy in the Umbrian Hills 🐾
The experience
Join our countryside family! We are 4 humans, 3 dogs 🐾, 3 chickens 🐓, 2 donkeys and 2 cats, we live in the country side (closest small village with supermarkets is 15mins drive). We love peace and harmony, good food and making art.
It would be nice to have some help with gardening, fixing fences, cutting grass, composting and more generally making our place look nice. We are flexitarian ;) but we welcome and accept other forms of sustenance.

Program Details
Our goal is to create a sustainable and positive exchange where you feel like a true part of our daily life. You will support us with outdoor activities while enjoying the deep tranquility of the Umbrian hills. Since we value your well-being, we adapt all tasks to your specific skills, interests, and experience level, ensuring your stay is tailor-made and rewarding for everyone.
The location is authentically rural and surrounded by lush woods, making it the perfect place for those looking to disconnect. Please be aware that due to our secluded setting, mobile signal is limited in the area, though Wi-Fi is available inside and around the main farmhouse. We have recently renovated this space and, for the time being, this specific building does not have a shower, however, you will have access to showers in our other apartments located just a walk away. We look forward to sharing this peaceful nature retreat with you! 🌳🍃
Activities & Shift
We ask for 20 hours of help per week, usually spread over 5 days. Your daily activities will focus on farming, repairs, and general maintenance of the green spaces. We are flexible and like to coordinate together to ensure a steady but relaxed pace.
Rules
We value peace, harmony, and respect for nature and animals. Please be mindful of the shared spaces. Since we live in a rural area, a love for the outdoors is essential!
