Description
============
In October/November 2025 we welcome people to harvest olives to produce the best Olive Oil! :)
============
We are Giulia, Alan ,Stella and Miki. We are country folks in the heart, have a small house and a lot of land with olive trees.
In Spring we seek help to improve/implement our land and the woodden barn that needs some finishing work, in order to bring life to our little paradise called Tassinaia....
Therefore we need the cooperation of good willing people who can bring enthusiasm, vision and some actual skills and experience. We would like people who know how to work with their hands, and have some DIY capabilities.
