Welcome to Cà del Buco, a farm in tune with the seasons 🌰🍒

We are Paola, my husband, and our son, and we are happy to welcome volunteers who are sociable and willing to fit into our lifestyle. We live on a 40-hectare farm with fruit trees, alfalfa, cereal crops, chestnuts, and woodland. Our days follow the rhythm of the seasons, and we are always busy with something. There is clearing in the woods, preparing firewood, harvesting cherries and chestnuts, repairing fences for the livestock, tending the vegetable garden, making preserves, working in the workshop, and many other tasks, all carried out with respect for nature.

We offer a cultural exchange, a chance to share our passion for what we do and to become part of our family for a while. We can teach you to make bread and pasta by hand, to preserve what the garden gives us, and to understand the cycles of the land. In return, we appreciate your help, your energy, and your company.We never watch the clock but live 24 hours of the day. The work is sometimes very hard, but we meet it with energy from day to day. Tasks vary with the season, and we adapt to what needs doing. Some days you might be in the woods, other days in the garden, the workshop, or the kitchen. We are looking for people who are flexible, proactive, and not afraid of physical work. We ask for a minimum stay of 2 weeks, and longer stays are preferred, especially for those who want to truly settle into the rhythm of the place.Accommodation is provided in our home, with meals shared together. We eat what the farm produces, and the food is simple, seasonal, and honest. The atmosphere is warm and family-oriented, and we welcome volunteers as part of our daily life. We speak English and a little German, so communication is not a problem.

If you are sociable, willing to follow the seasons with us, and ready to contribute to the life of the farm, we would be happy to hear from you 🌞
