That sounds like a wonderful opportunity to enjoy nature while doing something good!

Volunteering in Ferrera to support mountain agriculture not only offers the chance to work in a breathtaking mountain landscape and enjoy the fresh air, but also provides valuable insights into the life and work of the local mountain population. Your efforts support the Stoffel mountain farm and contribute to the preservation and promotion of mountain agriculture.
