We are a couple in the early sixties who moved from Milan and left our careers to be in our personal heaven on earth in the hills of Molise. Since the mid-90s we have played with the idea to move to one of the remotest valleys of Central Asia where we travelled on foot during our holidays, or to Afghanistan near a school or one of the hospitals that we financed with our non-profit organization. In the end we did not do any of that, but we bought a farm now reduced to ruins in Molise. Restructuring it we have installed a stove refractory, that with a few kgs of wood heats the whole house, photovoltaic panels for electricity and a solar thermal system for hot water. Now we live with two horses, five dogs, cats and chickens. Adjacent to the farmhouse there is a large vegetable garden of more than half a hectare and some fruit trees. The garden is fertilized with manure from the horses and with our compost. There are also 70 olive trees. We produce our oil, our vegetables, our preserves and sour dough bread. We have chickens, but only for the eggs, we do not eat meat. We can provide a room with bathroom. We gladly welcome people during the spring / summer / autumn to help us out in the garden and with the animals. At home we speak Italian, German, English and French. The farm is about 4 km from the village Sant'Elia a Pianisi. We have 2 "flow hive" beehives (cruelty free honey). For photos of our paradise visit our instagram account: evcolavi
