Nirav e Ajasta vivono stabilmente La casa con amici, ospiti e wwoofers. Il nostro obiettivo è l'autosufficienza economica per coloro che ci vivono rispettando il nostro bioritmo e la natura che ci circonda. Coltiviamo uliveto ed agrumeto,mandorli, fichi, melograni..... potiamo in primavera, irrighiamo in estate, concimiamo e raccogliamo le olive in autunno e le nostre arance da Dicembre ad Aprile spedendole tutte le settimane a casa dei ns.clienti/amici ed insieme ci prendiamo cura de La Casa tutti i giorni.  Dal 2013  collaboriamo con  piccoli produttori di avocadi, manghi, limoni e pompelmi che crescono piu vicini al mare, coltivandoli e raccogliendone i frutti. Ci piace fare del nostro lavoro una meditazione, mangiare cibo prevalentemente locale fresco e bio quando è possibile condividendolo con nostri ospiti.  Ogni tanto ospitiamo chi è interessato al ns. progetto e talvolta dei seminari. Sono benvenuti coloro che hanno voglia  di apprendere partecipando alle ns. attività.

A presto Nirav e Ajasta ****************************** We are located in Sicily in the valley of the river Simeto with a splendid view of Mount Etna. Surrounded by 3 hectares of citrus grove, olive grove and organic vegetable garden, chickens, geese, dogs and cats. Here converge the Waters of Etna that offer magnificent opportunities to create biodiversity. Nirav and Ajasta live permanently in the house with friends, guests and wwoofers. Our goal is economic self-sufficiency for the small community that lives here respecting our biorhythms and the nature that surrounds us. We cultivate olive, almonds, pomegranate and citrus tree, we prune in spring, we irrigate in summer, we fertilize and harvest olives in autumn and our oranges from December to April sending them every week to our clients/friends homes and together we take care of the house every day. From 2013 we work with small producers of avocados, mangoes, lemons and grapefruits that grow closer to the sea, cultivating them and harvesting their fruits. We like to make our work a meditation, eat mainly fresh and organic local food when possible . From time to time we host those interested in the project and sometimes seminars. We welcome those who want to learn by participating in our activities: . We are available for hospitality for a minimum time of 2 weeks for who is really interested in a deep experience.

Me and my sister stayed two weeks with Nirav in the end of October & beginning of November. In this period we helped mainly with the olive harvest, and a little bit with the harvest of pomegranates and avocados. We usually worked between 8-13 in the morning and only sometimes in the afternoon. One of us was also responsible for feeding the animals (dogs, cats, chickens, geese, peacocks) every night. Cooking was shared and we cooked quite often. We shared a room with another wwoofer and we had our own bathroom, which was perfect. Nirav was very friendly and helpful, we learned a lot about Sicilian culture and shared many laughters and joyful moments! We could also get lifts to and from the bus station during free time. However, the environment on this farm was very different from what we were used to and we struggled a bit to feel at ease. If you are used to more order, planning, clear instructions, collaboration, and cleanliness, you might consider another farm. But if you are into spirituality, this could be the perfect place.

I had my first Wwoofer experience at Nirav´s place and would like to thank him and all his lovely people and animals around, for the beautiful time I could spent with them. Nirav has welcomed me with his kind and calming personality from the first moment and made me the feeling of beeing well cared. He has answered all my questions with patience and shared his knowledge with me. My time in Sicily was the beginning of an enthusiastic journey for more! Namaste ❤

Trascorsi due tre giorni di normale adattamento , la vita presso la Casa delle acque, in compagnia esclusiva di Nirav , siciliano doc , mi ha quasi completamente assorbito grazie alla naturalezza dei ritmi da questi impressi nelle diverse e variegate attività svolte durante il soggiorno. Nutrire a fine giornata gli animali che sono parte della grande e allegra famiglia della "Casa" , tra tutte, è stata in qualche modo quella unificante. Alla preziosa presenza femminile dell'acqua , costante musica per le nostre orecchie nelle prime tre settimane , insieme al canto dei cardellini, si è aggiunta nell'ultima quella di Ajasta che grazie al senso pratico ed al suo accento del nord ha completato , per me che sono di Roma , il risultato della mia esperienza collocandolo ben al di sopra delle mie migliori aspettative . Grazie , Ajasta e Nirav !

Loved this experience. We rose early mornings somedays to work on different projects, harvesting almonds, figs, olives for a few weeks and then planted vegetables for their winter garden other days. The environment is very loving, open and honest, and spiritual. If you enjoy fresh organic foods, they are great at that, and even some fun nights singing and playing the guitar or playing board games. I visited during the summer and during that time we had some afternoons available to visit the beach and Mt.Etna. Super friendly family, I highly recommend.
