    Description

    Hi, me and my family live in an olive garden, we are looking after some chickens, goose and sheep, we have two lovely dogs, and two cats. We love meeting people from different cultures and exchanging knowledge. I am working remotely from home and after working ours and at weekends keeping the land and our farm up and running. We have around 500 olive trees, we are mainly requesting help for harvesting, you can learn the processes and at the same time, taste some extra virgin olive oils 🙂. We are also growing some vegetables for summer and winter periods. So would be good to give a hand on the garden also.
