Post Terra Madre: Farm Prospects and Update

oi vey

well....most of the farmers we met and talked with do not need help at this time during the season. Although we have info for next Aug and Sept, maybe we can make something happen for other students next year.
But we are still looking, and emailing people. We met really nice people from South West France who make cheese, and they are going through the birthing season, so we may go there. However, I would like to stay in Italy, so I am still trying to find places here.
We have not heard back from contacts yet, but hopefully soon.
Our prospects as of now:
I met a girl in the lunch line and she has a good fried who has an olive oil family farm, and she was going to contact me tomorrow Oct 29th about if they wanted any young help.

There is another man we need to contact who has an oil farm a little south of Milan. Who seems kind of open to the possibility.

France cheese farms were really enthusiastic about us joining them. They said for any amount of time! A week to a year!

I still have the possibility to call one farm in Greece that says they may want help.

Im trying to get ahold of Trish Spurino who is presently wwoofing in Sicily...and might have some ideas as she just left one farm....but my phone card is not working...

So yes...this is the update.
Some friend of ours just got connected with an agrofarm, bed and breakfast they are going to next week for a couple of weeks. Maybe through them we can find another place in Tuscany.
But as of now all 4 of us are traveling to Cinque Terre tonight, and enjoying a break from schedules and loads of people. Enjoying the hot springs...and relaxing...catching up on sleep...
It will be a nice few days while we sort out our plans.

Enjoying every day, living up the unsure openness of life, and how not being in control still perfectly works out.
Ciao.
