  Description

  My 8-year-old son an I live in a small country house in the middle of the woods, nestled in the Maremma hills, from which you can see the sea :)
  We have a natural vegetable garden and an orchard, there is a lot of forest, a lot of wild animals.
  We heat ourselves with wood, harvest fruits, olives, herbs, preserve edible and medicinal wild plants, self-producing what we can. We make bread, herbal products, preserves. We have a source of drinking water.
  We participate in a market with neighboring related realities (including other hosts).
  There is always something to do and invent! With the garden, wood, grass, maintenance, harvesting and canning, different activities depending on the seasons and weather.
  The workawayers who visit us will immerse themselves in our daily lives, work together and share vegetarian meals with wholesome, organic and possibly local products.
  We lead a simple life in the excitement of being able to be immersed in the wilderness and create with our hands. We like spartan people who enjoy this simplicity and are happy in getting busy.
  We do homeschooling and are pleased when our guests are willing to share their knowledge.
  We host in trailers, for a minimum of two weeks, or more depending on how we get along with each other. Besides agroecology, we are interested in meditation, yoga, music, my son very much even Lego :)
  There is a wifi connection that makes smart working possible eventually.
  We speak Italian, English, Spanish.
  
  ----> The activities planned for winter and spring 2025 are the construction of a solar water system, forest maintenance, pruning of fruit trees, vegetable garden, herb harvesting, and all those various and unexpected activities and maintenance that the campaign will require.

  Io, mio figlio di 8 anni e due gatti viviamo in una piccola casa di campagna in mezzo ai boschi, immersi nelle colline maremmane, da cui si vede il mare :)
  Abbiamo un orto naturale e un frutteto, c'é tanto bosco, tanti animali selvatici.
  Ci scaldiamo a legna, raccogliamo frutta, olive, erbe, salvaguardiamo le piante selvatiche commestibili e officinali, autoproducendo quello che riusciamo. Facciamo il pane, prodotti erboristici, conserve. Abbiamo una sorgente di acqua potabile.
  Partecipiamo a un mercatino con realtà affini limitrofe (tra cui altri host).
  C'é sempre da fare e da inventare! Con l'orto, la legna, l'erba, le manutenzioni, le raccolte e le conserve, attività diverse in base alle stagioni e al meteo.
  Gli workawayer che ci verranno a trovare si immergeranno nella nostra quotidianità, lavoreremo assieme e condivideremo pasti vegetariani con prodotti genuini, biologici e possibilmente locali.
  Conduciamo una vita semplice nell'entusiasmo di poter stare immersi in una natura selvaggia e di creare con le nostre mani. Ci piacciono le persone spartane, che godono di questa semplicità e che sono contente nel darsi da fare.
  Facciamo homeschooling e ci fa piacere quando i nostri ospiti hanno voglia di condividere le loro conoscenze.
  Ospitiamo in roulotte, per un minimo due settimane, o di più in base a come ci troviamo reciprocamente. Oltre all'agroecologia, ci interessano meditazione, yoga, musica, a mio figlio molto anche la Lego :)
  C'è una connessione wifi che rende possibile eventualmente lo smart working.
  Parliamo italiano, inglese, spagnolo.
  
  ----> Le attività previste per l'inverno e la primavera 2025 sono la realizzazione di un impianto solare di risalita dell'acqua, manutenzione del bosco, potature di alberi da frutto, orto, raccolta di erbe, e tutte quelle varie e impreviste attività e manutenzioni che la campagna richiederà.
