Hi, I'm Alex, 25, and I work on a mountain farm that I run according to permaculture principles and regenerative agriculture. What drives me is love for myself, my fellow human beings, and the environment. Living a respectful life in harmony with nature is very important to me. Because of this, I grow 100% untreated vegetables, which I sell directly to restaurants, at farmers' markets, and in our farm shop. To close the natural loop, we also have native animal breeds. We have 5 pigs, 8 cows, 3 sheep, 5 goats, chickens, and a dog on the farm. Usually, we work in our garden, but we also take care of our forest and meadows. Our typical day starts with feeding the animals, followed by garden work, and in the evening, we tend to the animals again. Our work is extremely diverse: it ranges from planting and harvesting to sales and much more. Most of the time, we cook together and produce the majority of our food ourselves. Showing respect for nature is incredibly important to me. My motivation as a WWOOF host: Since I rarely get away from the farm, I simply bring the world to me! I look forward to meeting new people and giving you an insight into my life and my work with nature. If you have read this description to the end, please send me the secret word "Pizza." This way, I know you are genuinely interested in my project!

Ciò che mi guida è l'amore per me stesso, per i miei simili e per l'ambiente. ​Vivere una vita rispettosa e in armonia con la natura è estremamente importante per me. Per questo motivo coltivo verdure al 100% non trattate, che vendo direttamente a ristoranti, ai mercati dei produttori e nel nostro negozio in fattoria. Per chiudere il ciclo naturale, alleviamo anche razze animali autoctone. In fattoria abbiamo 5 maiali, 8 mucche, 3 pecore, 5 capre, galline e un cane. Di solito lavoriamo nel nostro orto, ma ci prendiamo cura anche del nostro bosco e dei nostri prati. ​La nostra giornata tipo inizia con il dare da mangiare agli animali, seguito dal lavoro in giardino, e la sera ci occupiamo nuovamente degli animali. Il nostro lavoro è estremamente vario: va dalla semina e dal raccolto fino alle vendite e molto altro ancora. La maggior parte delle volte cuciniamo insieme e produciamo da soli la maggior parte del nostro cibo. Mostrare rispetto per la natura è incredibilmente importante per me. ​La mia motivazione come ospitante WWOOF: Dato che mi allontano raramente dalla fattoria, porto semplicemente il mondo da me! Non vedo l'ora di conoscere nuove persone e di darvi un'idea della mia vita e del mio lavoro con la natura. ​Se hai letto questa descrizione fino alla fine, inviami la parola segreta "Pizza". In questo modo saprò che sei sinceramente interessato al mio progetto! ​Instagram: pigleider Il mio numero: +39 3667197692 ​Hallo, ich bin Alex, 25 Jahre alt, und ich bewirtschafte einen Bergbauernhof nach den Prinzipien der Permakultur und der regenerativen Landwirtschaft. Was mich antreibt, ist die Liebe zu mir selbst, zu meinen Mitmenschen und zur Umwelt. ​Ein respektvolles Leben im Einklang mit der Natur ist mir extrem wichtig. Aus diesem Grund baue ich zu 100 % unbehandeltes Gemüse an, das ich direkt an Restaurants, auf Bauernmärkten und in unserem Hofladen verkaufe. ​Um den natürlichen Kreislauf zu schließen, halten wir auch alteingesessene, einheimische Tierrassen. Auf dem Hof haben wir 5 Schweine, 8 Kühe, 3 Schafe, 5 Ziegen, Hühner und einen Hund. Meistens arbeiten wir in unserem Gemüsegarten, kümmern uns aber auch um unseren Wald und unsere Wiesen. ​Unser typischer Tagesablauf beginnt mit dem Füttern der Tiere, gefolgt von der Arbeit im Garten, und abends versorgen wir die Tiere noch einmal. Unsere Arbeit ist extrem vielseitig: Sie reicht von der Aussaat und Ernte bis hin zum Verkauf und vielem mehr. Meistens kochen wir gemeinsam und stellen den Großteil unserer Lebensmittel selbst her. Der Natur Respekt entgegenzubringen, liegt mir unglaublich am Herzen. ​Meine Motivation als WWOOF-Gastgeber: Da ich den Hof nur selten verlasse, hole ich mir die Welt einfach zu mir! Ich freue mich darauf, neue Menschen kennenzulernen und euch einen Einblick in mein Leben und meine Arbeit mit der Natur zu geben. ​Wenn du diese Beschreibung bis zum Ende gelesen hast, schicke mir das Geheimwort „Pizza“.

It was such a joy to WWOOF at Pigleiderhof! Over 3 and a half weeks, I did a wide range of farm work, and I got the opportunity to cook meals using really delicious produce from the farm. There is a beautiful lake just a 15-minute walk away, as well as a gorgeous little pond on the property, perfect for a dip. The whole farm, and the adjacent forest, was stunning. Alex is also a flexible, generous, and considerate host. I couldn't recommend this site more!

Pigleiderhof was my third farm and I couldn't have asked for more. Alex's farm was exceptional. I only stayed for nine days, but I felt like I was there much longer. Alex had a genuine desire to teach and would frequently take time to explain things to me. As someone who wants to start a farm of my own, this aspect was invaluable. Alex taught me about the method he uses, growing techniques, cover crops, tools, germination, and more. The farm itself was magical. Everything has been planted with meticulous care. Everything grows abundantly and serves the purpose not only of feeding the community, but also of preserving and revitalizing the land. I personally believe his approach represents the role of farmers, and to a greater extent humans, as caretakers of the earth. Beyond the farm, the stunning beauty of South Tyrol is endless. Not only is Pigleiderhof situated at the trailhead for a local lake and forest (and even has a small lake on the property for cooling off,) it is also close to a number of breathtaking mountains that Alex was kind enough to take me up on the weekends. His love for the region is contagious, and I now hold a special place in my heart for South Tyrol. The living conditions were very nice and I have absolutely no complaints regarding the meals, rooms or working hours. Overall, I cannot understate the enjoyment of my stay or recommend Pigleiderhof enough.

Pensavo di aver fatto una buona descrizione di me stesso e di come sarei potuto essere d' aiuto.Quantomeno meritavo una risposta,anche succinta,sul perché questo giovane host abbia declinato la richiesta.Ognuno è libero di accogliere chi vuole,ma una motivazione,piccola o anche furbamente falsa, è bene darla sempre.

Mi scuso, non pensavo fosse così importante fornire una motivazione per declinare la richiesta.
