First WWOOF Host: Farm's Self-Description

14 Feb 2011

WWOOF Italy's list has over 450 hosts. Thus, a potential WWOOFer needs to sift through hundreds of paragraph descriptions that sum up a unique family and farm to choose where they most like to stay. To get a sense of the descriptions, here is the description of the first farm. I assure, the description is much less colorful than my three weeks spent there!

La Tempa del Fico is a farm where we run courses and workshops (for schools and associations etc) about rural ecological education, the use of wild aromatic herbs, water cycles, bread making etc. We have 2.5 hectares of land, use only natural methods and have a synergic vegetable garden. We grow 'Casusedda di Pruno' and 5 other ancient varieties of wheat. We are also hoping to install a stone mill. Activities include trekking with 2 donkeys (to increase to 7 when the stall made of chestnut posts, stone and straw bales is constructed) along the paths of the Cilento. We promote communication and solidarity for high quality organic produce from the sea to the mountains. Accommodation in room or in own tent during busy periods. Stays of at least three weeks preferred, children welcome. Meals vegetarian.
