Wir waren mit unsere kleinen Tochter 10‘Tage auf der Farm. Haben dort in einem Zelt übernachtet, dieses war sehr komfortabel und super gemütlich. Wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt, von Anfang an ein vertrautes familiäres miteinander. Unsere Tochter hat mit den Hunden gespielt, alle sehr lieb und rücksichtsvoll. Wir haben abwechslungsreiche Aufgaben auf der Farm gehabt. Wir konnten uns die Zeit flexibel einteilen, um die Arbeit zu erledigen. Unsere Tochter wurde hierbei immer berücksichtigt. Wenn die Arbeit auf dem Feld keine Option war, konnte wir uns aufteilen und andere Tätigkeiten mit ihr im Haus oder uns Haus herum erledigen. Valeria engagiert sich in verschiedene Projekte, so dass man viele Eindrücke gewinnen kann. Wir haben gemeinsam tolle Ausflüge gemacht. Auf der Farm sind regelmäßig andere Woofer:innen, so dass man Menschen aus der ganzen Welt trifft. Wir haben dort supertolle Leute kennengelernt. Ein nie vergessenes Erlebnis. Valeria ist die beste Gastgeberin.

I spent a beautiful and relaxing week and a half at MAMAterra. The hosts were very kind and hardworking people, who created a calm environment while I stayed at the farm with them. I was the only woofer staying for most of my stay, which was very relaxing, but I do think my time would have been a bit more engaging had there been other wwoofers there! The days were very well balanced, mornings and breakfast were done individually and we had some down time if there was nothing to be done in the morning. Then lunch was always prepared together, followed by a long siesta, and usually outdoor work until dinner which we also cooked together. During my stay we worked on planting tomato crops and transferring the ponies, (i cavallini!) to a new pasture, I learned how to make Marcella’s wonderful bread, and helped her design a marketing strategy for their farm. Overall my time here was very relaxing and I learned many new skills, practiced some old, and got a good taste of what running this type of agricoltura looks like! I will say that some days there was not a lot of work to do or they did not have many things going on during this time at the farm, I did have to make myself busy which I enjoyed, but without a car there is not an easy way to get into the village nearby and I don’t believe they had bikes, which would have been nice. I hope to visit MamaTerra again soon, grazie Marcella e Mauro per la migliore introduzione a Sicilia e MamaTerra! Abbracci, Milini 😊

Wonderful Experience, 5/5 stars I had an amazing stay. Spending two months on the farm was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend WWOOFing here to anyone. The rooms were very comfortable and well maintained. The work was varied and interesting, and I had the opportunity to do many different tasks, including working in the fields, helping with small renovation projects, cleaning hotel rooms, and working in both the kitchen and the restaurant. Charlotte and Luca are incredibly kind and welcoming hosts. Charlotte was also great at organizing trips and outings on days off, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The surroundings are absolutely stunning, with beautiful rolling hills and valleys. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I’m very grateful for my time here.

Cascina Tavijn è una buona azienda ripiena del legame familiare. Nadia è una grande persona. È un'agricoltorice e una vignaiuola. Anche suo papà, Ottavio esaltava sua figlia che è brava a comandare ed a dirigere l'azienda. Secondo me è abile nello spirito di "Omotenashi"(Ospitalità). Grazie a Nadia sono riuscito a realizzare un buon soggiorno. Ho lavorato sul verde in vigna. E in cantina invece ho fatto l'etichettatura, ecc ecc. tutti i lavori sono per la prima volta per me. Ho fatto 3-4 errori, alla prossima volta migliorerà il mio lavoro. Ritorno assoltamente alla Cascina Tavijn. E cerco di contribuire il loro lavoro di più. Sua mamma, Teresa mi ha chiesto se anche i giapponesi mangiano il riso. Certamente sì. Alla prossima visita vorrei preparare a loro una cucina giapponese tradizionale semplice, si chiama "Onigiri(Omusubi)". Da bambino lo mangiavo con i nonni contadini a lato del campo del riso. Voglio presentare la cultura giapponese contadina a loro, agricoltori italiani. Con ringraziamento. I'LL BE BACK👍

I spent almost a month at Juna’s farm, and it has been one of the best experience I’ve had in my life. Juna is an incredible person—very interesting, deeply caring, and extremely attentive to every detail. She has created a truly magical and welcoming atmosphere on her farm, a place that feels warm, beautiful, and very comfortable for everyone. She takes amazing care of her volunteers. Everyone has their own private room, and she always makes sure we feel supported and looked after. Every day she cooked us delicious and varied food, and she also constantly tried to give us more than just a farm experience—always coming up with activities and little adventures. We went to visit her friends, explored different places around, ate ice cream together, and had evenings, dinners, and bonfires that she organized with so much care. Even in the work itself, she pays attention to what you are good at and what you enjoy, and we were never overloaded. She creates an atmosphere where you naturally want to take care of the place and be helpful. There was also a very friendly atmosphere. I met there some really great people. Overall, this was a life-changing experience for me. If Juna chooses you as a WWOOFer, consider yourself very lucky. I really hope to return there again soon and help Juna with her exciting plans!) Thank you very much, Juna!!!
