We have olives and fruit trees and ornamentals on the property and we care for them (pruning, harvesting, grafting) and use their produce (olive oil, olives, almonds, walnuts, chestnuts, fruit and vegetables) and care for the nature around us. We make and use compost & manure, collect water We maintain the farms dry stone walls, fences, paths and wooden houses. We would like to have help from 1 or 2 people who would like to share the pleasure and hard work of living in the countryside whilst respecting the harmony and serenity of nature. Accommodation in a independent chalet on the farm and the chance to share family life. There are many nearby interesting archaeological sites . Contact: Micheangela.
