La nostra fattoria si trova sull'altopiano di Favogna (1.020 m s.l.m.), una frazione del comune di Magrè, che comprende diverse fattorie e 2 alberghi. Il centro abitato più vicino dista ca. 10 km (andiamo quasi giornalmente in paese). Noi siamo una coppia di 45 e 47 anni (con 2 figli di 5 e 2 anni) che dal 2008 segue i metodi dell'agricoltura biodinamica per produrre le più svariate varietà di ortaggi. La nostra superficie coltivata con ortaggi è di ca. 1,5 ha. Rivolgiamo la nostra attenzione in particolare all'utilizzo di varietà riproducibili da seme, favorendo la crescita delle piante attraverso una coltura mista e ben pianificata, attivando la vita del terreno con una buona gestione del compost ed evitando la compattazione del suolo (lavoriamo buona parte dei nostri terreni con l'ausilio di un asino). Chi verrà da noi potrà essere coinvolto nei lavori nell'orto, nella raccolta delle fragole, accudire gli asini, vendita al mercato, ecc. Il periodo di ospitalità va da maggio a fine ottobre, sistemazione in roulotte, con bagno e doccia calda nella casa attiguo, per max. 2 persone. Vorremo ospitare WWOOFer come occasione di scambio di esperienze, cultura e lavoro per un periodo minimo di 14 giorni. Durante il soggiorno ci sono possibilità di escursioni in montagna, di fare un bagno nel bellissimo lago di Favogna a 5 min a piedi dalla nostra azienda, di accompagnarci al mercato ecc. La cucina è biologica e prevalentemente vegetariana. Parliamo tedesco, italiano e inglese. ****************************** Our farm is located on the plateau of Favogna (1,020 m asl), a part of the town of Magrè, which includes several farms and 2 hotels. The town centre is 10 kms and we go in almost every day. We are a couple of 45 and 47 (with 2 children, 5 and 2) and since 2008 have cultivated (using biodynamic methods) a diverse variety of vegetables. The area cultivated with vegetables is approx. 1,5 ha. We pay particular attention to the cultivation of varieties reproduced from seed, promoting plant growth through a well-planned mixed culture, activating the life of the soil with a good management of the compost and avoiding soil compaction (we work a good part of our land with with our donkeys). Whoever comes here will be helping in vegetable garden, harvesting strawberries, caring for the donkeys, selling at the market and other tasks. We can host people from May to late October, accommodation in caravan, with bathroom and hot shower in the nearby house, max. 2 person. We would like to accommodate WWOOFers as an opportunity to exchange experiences, culture and work for a minimum period of 14 days. During your stay, you will have the opportunity to go hiking in mountains, swim in the beautiful lake Favogna which is 5 min walk from the farm, to accompany us to the market and so on. The food is organic and mostly vegetarian . We speak German, Italian and English.

I had a beautiful week in this breathtaking mountain landscape. The tasks were very interesting like driving the donkey for preparing the field or do the seeding in the greenhouse in the valley. The next city is like 800 m difference in altitude so you gonna get your head free there definitely ;) The family is very nice and open and willing to share there experience and knowledge. If your are willing to work and learn I can totally recommend to come here.

Ci ho trascorso una settimana e mezza. Alexandra and Peter sono persone simpatiche. Una bella azienda agricola situata in una cornice splendida. Si coltiva un'ampia varietà di verdure tra cui fagiolini, cavalo, barbabietole, patate, cipolle, aglio, mais, carote, prugne, etc. Dopo lavoro si può andare a nuotare nel lago. La loro madre lingua è tedesco e si parla bene italiano. Il loro figlio Manuel è carino e buffo. L'unico problema era che sembravo pigro a causa di problemi di salute e altre distrazioni. Questo ha causato un po' di conflitto perché è una azienda commerciale quindi c'è lavoro da fare (non è che sia troppo ma c'è). Senza la mia difficoltà con il lavoro fisico e con la mente chiara ci tornerei sicuramente.

Alexandra and Peter are lovely people and welcoming hosts! They're young son is very energetic and cute, and the farm is a beautiful piece of land in the mountains. My WWOOFing experience was mixed, but I think for most people it would be very good here. It was unseasonably cold and rainy when I came, so sleeping in the (unheated) RV was a little bit difficult for me. Additionally, there son was sick and I ended up doing a lot of childcare (probably because there was less farm work with the rain), which was challenging because I did not speak the same language as him and he was sick, which resulted in me getting sick. For personal reasons, I left early, and I ended up with pneumonia upon my arrival home, which I most likely contracted from their son and the cold sleeping conditions. However, I think this was all very unlucky; this is a beautiful region of the world and your hosts would be a beautiful and interesting family! It is notable that there is not any way to get to any towns nearby and also that if you do not speak german, you will not understand most conversations that occur. If you do speak german, there are lots of lovely visitors passing by the farm!

Ich habe drei wirklich wunderschöne Wochen auf dem Hof von Alex und Peter verbracht. Ich konnte vieles lernen und die beiden waren wirklich sehr offen und herzlich. :) Fast täglich wurde frisches Gemüse geerntet und für den Verkauf vorbereitet und vor allem die gemeinsamen Markttage haben mir richtig viel Spaß gemacht. Der Hof liegt recht abgelegen, umgeben von der Natur und einer atemberaubenden Bergkulisse. Das hat mich wirklich täglich beeindruckt. Auch der Sprung in den Bergsee nebenan war ein Highlight nach getaner Arbeit. Das Zusammenleben war wirklich sehr entspannt und das gemeinsame Essen mit der Familie gehört hier fest zum Hofleben. Hier helfen alle zusammen, damit es auch in stressigeren Phasen gut klappt. Danke für die wertvolle Zeit, eure Gastfreundschaft und die schönen Wochen! Bis bald. :)
