Please note: Applications are currently closed. We will update the website in summer 2026 with Winter 2026-27 dates and the current application and reference form. Thank you!

This reference form is being requested on the behalf of an applicant to the Winter Farm Volunteer Program at the Tenuta di Spannocchia in Tuscany, Italy for a three-month-long session. Spannocchia is a small, close-knit community in a rural environment, 20 kilometers south of the city of Siena. While travel is possible on the weekends, participants spend most of their time on the farm. We value your input as we aim to select candidates who will be most likely to thrive in this very special but isolated community.
