What a beautiful experience in so many levels! Moxi's project represents so much more than a permaculture/farm experience - it's an opportunity to ground and to melt into a little bubble of kindness where you'll be able to connect with nature as much as with yourself and your creativity.
Moxi's garden is a safe place for anyone looking to find empowerment through working with your hands, exploring different activities and tools with the support, knowledge and patience of Moxi's guidance.
I stayed at the Cottage for 2 weeks, most of which shared with 3 lovely wwoofers, together with Moxi and Lisa and we lived like a big family. During the rainy days the main mission was keeping the fire going and sharing incredible (I repeat, incredible!!) meals around the table. During these two weeks there were a few ongoing projects: collecting firewood; digging through a pile of soil and stones; creating a stone wall; lime layering the clay pizza oven; building doors for a studio... - it never gets boring. Plus, Moxi cares the most for everyone's individual passions/goals and well being so the tasks and schedules can be very flexible.
Besides all of this there was all of the extra fun: day trips, pizza nights, drum jams, great chats, bonfires under the stars, free education on varied topics and good solo time too for the balance! Hopefully you'll get to meet Druv!
If you're reading this comment section to help you make a decision... I say: do it! You won't regret it!
Much love,

We spent eleven wonderful days at Moxcis beautiful little paradise ! Though we definitely recommend spending more time there.
Clearing out the pile of stones and clay, levelling the ground for the dance and fire area and finishing on the last day by building a stonewall was super fulfilling and we were happy to shape this beautiful area.
Moxci explains everything very well and creates a relaxed working atmosphere, which makes the work so fun!
Living together with Moxci, Lisa Sofia and Mati, the other wwoofer, was a real blessing. Days were filled with fun conversations, the most delicious food, cooking, evenings by the fire and pizza nights.
We’ll never forget the days we spent at the sea, the concert and spending time together on the road in a car full of people. Thank you so much Moxci for taking us to those beautiful places and being the generous and kind person you are!
See you again, Emily, Karla and Josefa🌞

Our stay on the farm was just unforgettable!
Lisa and Moxci are incredibly kind, open, and helpful people who make you feel at home right away.
The work was varied, the food was amazing (really the best ever!), and the atmosphere was super relaxed.
We learned so much, from gardening and building a pizza oven to living more mindfully in nature and gaining some beautiful life insights.
If you’re looking for real farm life, lovely people, and good conversations, this is the perfect place.
Thank you for this wonderful time, we’d come back!
In love,
Lucy & Michelle 💐❤️

La nostra esperienza da Mocxi è stata bellissima,abbiamo trascorso giornate molto belle rifatto muretti in pietra e condiviso tanta bella energia!
Sicuramente questa farm è all'inizio del suo percorso, diventerà un posto pazzesco e mi sento molto grata di aver contribuito! Mocxi è un host premuroso e super gentile e la sua casetta è adorabile😊
Our experience at Mocxi was wonderful; we spent some wonderful days redoing stone walls and sharing so much wonderful energy!
This farm is definitely at the beginning of its journey; it will become an amazing place, and I feel so grateful to have contributed! Mocxi is a thoughtful and super kind host, and his little house is lovely😊

My Time with Moxci was a pleasure. I learned a lot and tried new things which was really easy because Moxci was so patient and trustful. Best environment to learn something new. Also we made really nice trips, had a cozy fire every night and lots of joy-moments together which I am really grateful for. Thank you for welcoming me with so much love! I felt at home and will surely be back :)
