<p>It's the beginning of our adventure...<br><br>We are now trying to become more productive and so the garden is our priority. We deal with it daily with trasplanting and seeding, harvesting and weeding, watering etc... Help is mainly needed there.<br>The plan is to start more beds in the garden by the spring of 2025, reaching something like 5000 m2.<br><br>We also have to set up a chicken coop, build the compost bins plus other little maintenance stuff&hellip;<br><br>The job is usually run from the early morning (5am to 8am) and at sunset (6pm to 8pm) with a long break, from 9am to 6pm - this is working in the hottest weather - the famous "siesta time"!!! Where you can decide to take a nap, chill ir go to the beach ... In total you will work 5 hours per day, 5 days per week. After your chores you have plenty of spare time to enjoy the surrounding nature chilling around...<br><br>Let's talk better about food! We eat pretty much veggies, pasta of course, dairy products, meat and sometimes fish. We are omnivores, if you are vegetarian or strictly vegan, please be aware of this!<br>Breakfast is enjoyed in the morning around 8, with coffee, fruit, eggs, bread, butter, honey, and jams but of course, if you have preferences just name it! Then a pleasant lunch-break usually at midday. At 8PM (think flexibly) we dine. You can be asked to cook sometimes, it would be fantastic to enjoy your specials all together!<br><br>All the chores are shared with commonsense (like washing-up, cleaning, setting/unsetting table) the personal ones instead (like to make your own bed and keep tidy and clean your room - to clean the bathroom after every use) are your responsibility. For the laundry you can wash your own clothes by hand or, if you need there is a self laundry in the town.<br><br>Remember we are in Italy, enjoying meals together is part of our culture,<br>we wait for everyone to be around the table before to start eating, it's not a restaurant, help to prepare and set the table, DON'T please wait to be served.<br><br>We could need extra help with various tasks sometimes at home, so be flexible. We are not on a precise schedule... Especially when it comes with unstable weather!<br><br>"The Olive Grove" a special part of our farm where we need some extra help for the harvest - which is from early November until the second week of December - always alternated with regular maintenance at the gardens, planting, harvesting and weeding if needed.<br><br>!!!BE AWARE!!! It's a physical work most of the time, be ready, fit and motivated before deciding to join us! We need people with experience or fast learners!<br><br>Thanks for your interest!<br><br>Paolo &amp; Grandma Giovann</p>

<p>Healthy food, new friends and the possibility to take a break from stressing city life, with the possibility to discover Apulia in a no-peak touristic season if you decide not to come on summertime. You could also learn more about healthy nutrition and sustainable agriculture, learn Italian directly from an Italian teacher, learn more about meditational yoga (Nonna Giovanna is a Raja Yoga teacher and an ex-school teacher! Take advantage!)</p>
