Ciao, sono Ros. Mi trovo nel Parco delle Madonie, in montagna, ed ho una piccola azienda agricola amatoriale. In particolare, ho, un'asino, una decina di capre, una coppia di pecore, una decina di galline. Poi cinque cani e un gatto. Produco i formaggio, ricotta e yogurt nel periodo in cui le capre hanno il latte. Per l'uso casalingo. In estate facciamo un piccolo orto biologico. Abbiamo un mandorleto e un uliveto. Di solito ci alziamo alle 8:00 e dopo una colazione iniziamo le attività. Le attività principali sono tra la cura e la cura degli animali. Durante il periodo di allattamento produciamo formaggio, ricotta e yogurt principalmente per uso domestico. Raccogliamo legna, nel periodo estivo raccogliamo mandorle. Un'altra collaborazione è la cura e la manutenzione quotidiana della casa. Normalmente chiediamo mezza giornata di collaborazione. La preparazione dei pasti, il mangiare e il rigoverno viene fatta insieme. I pasti sono colazione, pranzo e cena. Il pranzo è solitamente alle 13:00 e la cena intorno alle 19:30. Siamo ornivori. I WWOOFer avranno una stanza e un bagno da condividere con altri possibili ospiti della casa. Ci sono diversi percorsi di trekking poiché siamo nel Parco delle Madonie. I paesi limitrofi sono Petralia Sottana e Soprana, Castellana ecc. ripetutamente indicati come i borghi più belli d'Italia. In inverno c'è la stazione sciistica di Piano Battaglia." ---o----o-----0-----o----o--- Hi, I'm Ros. I am in the Madonie Park, in the mountains, and I have a small and amateur farm. Specifically, I have, a donkey, about ten goats, a couple of sheep, about ten chickens. Then five dogs and a cat. I make cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt during the period when the goats have milk. For home use. In summer we have a small organic vegetable garden. We have an almond orchard and an olive grove. We usually get up at 8:00 a.m. and after a breakfast we start activities. The main activities are between nursing and animal care. During the nursing period we make cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt mainly for household use. We collect wood, in the summer period we collect almonds. We take daily care and maintenance of the house together. We normally do activities for about half of the day. We prepare meals, eat and cleanup together. Meals are breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lunch is usually at 1:00 pm and dinner around 7:30 pm. We are ornivores. WWOOFers will have a room and bathroom to share with other possible house guests. Here in the Madonie Regional Park there are several trekking routes. The neighboring towns are Petralia Sottana and Soprana, Castellana etc. repeatedly referred to as the most beautiful villages in Italy. In winter there is the ski resort of Piano Battaglia.”

ENG/IT (courtesy of Google translate) I had a great time learning about goats, chickens, how to make yogurt and cheese, and how the different plants and trees on his property can be used. This is a great place for animal lovers! We ate meals together and typically split cooking and cleaning. I helped out with some housework, the chickens and goats, and I watered the garden in the evenings. I was there between harvests, so other than that, things were pretty relaxed! We spoke Italian about 95% of the time; Google Translate did some heavy lifting, but Ros also helped me improve my grammar and speaking. I'm so grateful to have spent time there, and look forward to returning. // Mi sono divertita moltissimo imparando tutto su capre e galline, su come fare lo yogurt e il formaggio e su come utilizzare le diverse piante e gli alberi presenti nella sua proprietà. È un posto fantastico per gli amanti degli animali! Mangiavamo insieme e di solito ci dividevamo i compiti in cucina e nelle pulizie. Ho dato una mano con le faccende domestiche, con le galline e le capre e ho annaffiato l'orto la sera. Ero lì tra un raccolto e l'altro, quindi a parte questo, l'atmosfera era piuttosto rilassata! Abbiamo parlato italiano per circa il 95% del tempo; Google Traduttore mi ha aiutato parecchio, ma Ros mi ha anche aiutato a migliorare la grammatica e la conversazione. Sono davvero grata di aver trascorso del tempo lì e non vedo l'ora di tornarci.

Un magnifique moment passé chez Rosario. Un homme avec un grand cœur, qui m’a accueilli dans un environnement sain et naturel, qui m’a montré et parlé des choses qui rendent la Sicile si belle. Le rythme est agréable, et la compagnie des animaux apaisante. Je recommande fortement ceci à quiconque souhaiterais vivre une expérience authentique aux portes du Parco Delle Madonie. A wonderful time spent with Rosario. A man with a big heart who welcomed me into a healthy and natural setting, and shared with me the things that make Sicily so beautiful. The pace is pleasant, the company of the animals is soothing. I highly recommend this to anyone wishing to enjoy an authentic experience at the gateway of Parco Delle Madonie.

Rosario is a person with a big heart, grateful and with a wealth of life experience, creative and inventive. His property is a great project. He built most of it himself and lives with the animals in a loving community and also has Olives, almonds and vegetables sometimes. We work for about four to five hours in the morning and I have free time in the afternoon. Because of his relaxed manner, it doesn't feel like work. From day one, I feel at home. The food is mostly self-produced - eggs from his chickens, milk and cheese from the goats and so on. Also he gets very nice food from some friends - who are shepherds and gardeners. If you want to experience the beautiful Madonie Regional Park, enjoy peace and quiet, very good food and see an alternative lifestyle, this is the place for you, and I highly recommend it. I will definitely come back and visit him again.
