Small farm dedicated to producing vegetables, fruit, eggs, and honey. Located in an isolated woodland area just outside Varzi, surrounded by hiking trails, including the famous Via del Sale that leads all the way to the Ligurian Sea through the mountains. Daily activities mainly involve tending to crops, the orchard, and the animals (chickens, ducks, geese, quails, rabbits, and bees), as well as maintaining the related farm structures.

We had a really nice time in Varzi, Federico and her beautiful dog Ishtaar are great hosts. He is flexible and laid back. The work can be heavy, but his attitude is very easy-going. You will be far from the town, the house is burrid into woods, which is amazing if you like that kind of environment.

Federico is the most chill and cool guy ever. Activities are various (during spring/summer at least), and he's a very good at cooking his self-made vegetables. His animals Ishtar and Tino are lovely and the room I slept in was perfect.

I had a very good experience at the farm. The work is varied, combining tasks in the garden, the fields, and with the animals. Federico guides each activity, explaining the purpose behind it, which makes the learning constant and very hands-on. Shared meals and conversations after work were a fundamental part of the experience. Beyond the work itself, I leave with a new perspective on rhythms, caring for the land, and everyday life. Thank you, Federico, for opening your home and sharing your way of living and understanding life!

Federico is very kind and endearing! He ensures you are always comfortable and well taken care of. Working with him felt less like a 'job' and more like following along and helping in his daily routine. I did not have much green house experience prior and he was very patient with me and has lots of knowledge to share. And, he is an excellent cook and uses the vegetables he grew himself so the meals are healthy and fresh. I would definitely recommend him as a host.

Fede is a really sweet host and his place is in a picturesque location in the forrest. The help provided is always appreciated. The food on the table is mainly Fede's own produce. Ishtar (the dog) is an overexcited ball of fur who just can't wait for you to throw a stick for her to catch. We think we've learned a lot after spending time in the greenhouse and taking care of the farm's animals. Just a heads up it can be a little bit cold there in the winter season and the farm is not accessible by public transport.
