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 the my olive groove of my ancestors in order to cultivate, manage the harvest in october and pruning in march onside. I'm looking for volunteers to help me in harvesting olive trees in sicily and make a nice and friendly experience on the olive grove.
I made a very nice experience with an international workaway team in october 2020 and would like to repeat with volunteer and friendly people the same experience. Picking olives and harvesting is a manual work and is not done in 1 day. The expectation is that volunteers are ready and physically ready to work together in a team and help and support each other. A team with working spirit and harmony will be an unforgettable memory for each participant. Conversation during the work and your stay is highly appreciated.
Date: 15th - 31 October 2021
