    Description

    I am Italian who travelled the world. I still do travel the world. Have chosen Puglia s my getaway. I am investing in the land and engaging in social art eco projects in the region. We host artists for temporary residences to work with local artisanal materials.

    I have two wonderful dogs and two cats, 8 chickens and a mini pig.
    We have our own food garden, and farm, olive trees and chickens. We would like to expand and grow a plant medicine garden too. Huge Permaculture synergic and elettrocolture garden to take care of. All in the make.
    We are building a sanctuary of good food and safe place.

    Sometimes we host together with my partner healing practices in our property. Yoga, meditation, breathing courses. We care about the land and creating a healthy tribe. We have two properties. Working on both.

    We need help from people with our same passions, strong, respectful, willing to work and accomplish, multitasking and kind.
    Looking for who is willing to work with land, construction, building and have the strength to do sometimes heavy jobs. Work in the heat in summer. Even if off peak hours it's hot here.
    We expect people to care for our animals as important beings.

    From October onwards is olive harvesting season. We have 800 trees.
    The pruning, composting, building new beds, taking care of food garden, building or restoring furniture for summer.

    This spring we need help building paths in the farm, wood benches from the left over of the winter pruning.
    Expanding our food farm plantings. Setting up fermenting stations. Building & construction skills wanted.

    Looking also for content creation help, video making, graphics& editing, photo...We are launching the communication plan for our farm with products and course teach and show others what we are doing.

    Don't come here if you are not ready to engage with nature, insects, heat, animals, passionate and caring.
    We are cool with anyones rhythm of life, we expect respect, care, and passion.
