Hello, my name is Pietro and I live and work in germany close to Frankfurt am Main and I travel 2-3x during the year to sicily to my olive grove of my ancestors in order to continue in the fourth generation to cultivate, manage the olive harvest in october and pruning work in march.
I'm looking for motivated and capable volunteers to help and support me harvesting & pruning olive trees in sicily and make a nice and friendly experience with my project "olive grove".
Since 2020 I hosted app. 60 international volunteers and made several nice and positive experiences.
During this experience you will join other workawayers from all over the world and make also friendships, connections and cultural exchanges & experience.
You will spend most of the work time on the olive farm and the other work time is splitted between cooking and house chores.
Believe me that the harvest work is physically challenging because harvesting olives is a manual work and physically demanding and not everybody is capable to do it.
The expectation is that volunteers are motivated and are willing physically ready to work together in a team and help and support each other.
The accommodation is in my private house and we prepare and cook our own vegetarian food & meals after the work.
If harvest or pruning is not possible due to weather condition e.g. raining everybody helps out for doings things in the household e g. put & staple the fire food, cleaning rooms, cleaning bathrooms, kitchen & dishes, cutting & removing dorns and weeds or other plants around the house or at the olive grove, bringing/moving the firewood to the fireplace (living room) and prepare it for the evenings.
Painting work, repairing damaged fences or fixing new fences and also repair different stuff or something around the house or the olive grove.
A motivated team with working spirit and harmony will be an unforgettable memory for each participant. Finally after this experience every participant who joined understand how effort is needed to produce an organic olive oil and how it should smell & taste. Conversation and cultural exchanges during the day and work during your stay is highly appreciated.

Originally, the plan was to harvest the olives close to the house but it was raining a lot at that time so that we could not start the harvest. Although I mainly came for the olives, I had a lot of fun without being able to help with the harvest. We cleaned the house, cut firewood and went… read more
