Volunteers will be helping us with the classic tasks of maintaining the garden and caring for the farm animals and collaborating with the tasks of the farm mainly in the orchard and animals, also in any other activity such as cooking, cleaning the house, making bread. At specific times, depending on the needs of the garden, we do intensive work with a few extra hours.

The farm works under some simpe rules based on the respect to their way of life (moments of rest, eating habits,...), and for the organization of the community (schedules, planned activities...).
Usually there are many of us, so we have certain rules to respect, otherwise life in common would be very difficult.
