What we do

We live in a off-grid land of 2 hectars in Puglia, halfway between Bari and Matera, seeking a vegetarian families, couple (preferred) or a veg established single (considered), who are/is paying attention to animal rights, geopolitics, climate disruption, and the collapse of industrial civ, and yearning to be free of the “matrix” to share our homestead. Only Vegetarians/vegans.

We are offering a nice place to live, a wealth of practical experience, knowledge and skills in a diversity of fields, ecocentrism, dog/horse/goats behavior, Nature-based lifestyle out of sync with the system, and a shared ownership in our established 2-hectars rural homestead on the beautiful Murgia of south Italy, where our goal is to become self-sufficient and more resilient.

Once an ancient lookout tower, our property is now fully equipped with solar PV, potable water, rain water catchment & well water, wood heat, a growing orchard, wood lot & growing food forest, fenced pasture, large vegetable garden, greenhouses, poultry and goats, horse, and soon with bees.

We seek partners who are healthy, physically fit (able to help with strenuous physical work for several hours), mature and free of addictions (including “smart” phones & commercial TV), and non-smoking. No illegal drugs, minimal alcohol, have prior experience with–or willing and able to learn and adopt–a simple, self-reliant lifestyle, capable of making a long-term commitment, willing to merge your resources with ours, passionate about learning (academic as well as hands-on), and aware that life on Earth is now most likely measured in years rather than decades.

It’s a very good place to face whatever comes next. If you’re looking for such a place to share with like-minded folks, we’re looking for you. We are grateful to all who consider our offer and respond.
