Description
Hi everyone! We are Margherita and Ciriaco and we are looking for 3/4 people to help us in the next olive harvest (more or less from 16 to 27 October) in the historic Villa of my family in Piazza, in the middle of the beautiful Tuscan hills, a few minutes from Pistoia and 40 minutes from Florence!
I am Margherita, I am 30 and I was born and raised in Piazza before moving to Bologna to study and later in Piedmont for work. I currently live and work in Biella, in a contemporary art Foundation.
Ciriaco is 29 and he is an argentinian cook who traveled and worked around Europe along 6 years, also making a lot of experiences as a workaway volounteer :)
We are a "young couple" and we would like this to feel more like a holiday than work.
We'll have plenty of Argentinian bbq, music, good wine and, if we feel like it, a nice last day in Florence all together after the harvest!
We are ready to welcome you!
Types of help and learning opportunities
Help with Eco Projects
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I grew up in Pistoia and studied art history so I can give you some advice on the best places to visit in the area.
Ciriaco is an excellent cook and very good musician, essential skills for a good bbq and a few songs around the fire :)
We both love meeting new people from all over the world and sharing stories and experiences. We speak Italian, English, Spanish and Portuguese. And we always enjoy learning some new language ;)

Help
The help will mainly consist of harvesting olives from the trees. More or less two hours in the morning, picnicking in the fields, and another couple of hours in the afternoon. No special skills are required, just a good disposition to fit well in a group!
