Via Collegio 1
Sortino, 96010, Siracusa
On my farm in the Iblee hills of Siracusa Monte Favara I rear sheep, in the valley is a spring "Sorgente S.Giovanni" and the whole area is of great archaeological interest with many caves and tombs from the Paleocristana era. The jobs which we need help with are making cheese and ricotta from the milk which arrives at the farm from the flock which is on a nearby farm, cleaning, in the vegetable garden and in the kitchen. Help also needed with maintenance and clearing the grass round the archaeological part. From May to August we also collect wild capers, fennel seeds, asparagus, mushrooms and other wild vegetables. We have a typical Sicilian diet using our produce and old recipes, we also make bread in our wood burning oven.
May 29- June 22
In Puglia… not sure where yet.
Hi, Erica! My name is Chelsea and I may be WWOOFing in Masainas, Sardinia at the same farm that you've listed. Would you mind telling me about your experience there? I just want to make sure I choose the right place. Thanks in advance! :)
ReplyDeleteBuongiorno Erica! Thank you for sharing all your lovely adventures! I too will be WWOOFing in all over the Italy for 3 months mid August-beginning of November. I too am from Colorado! Anyways I would love to hear from you on any advice you have in the planning stages, never having been to Italy the planning can get quite overwhelming. My desire is to work my way down from Aosta to Calabria or even perhaps Sicily (I will be flying in and out o Rome). Emailing would be great you can reach me at olliruam77@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteHi Chelsea, could you give me the contact details of the Zipp family? best regards, Harald
