    Description

    We are non profit organization from island Ugljan in Croatia. We work many agricultural jobs in the island such as cutting and harvesting olives. The olive oil is made in traditional way that started in the time of Romans. There is a Roman mill on the island that is completely reconstructed to show the people how making of oil was done 2000 years ago.
    We also work with other plants such as figs, peaches, lemons, madarines and so on. And also we tako care of the nature by cleaning the trash leftovers and protecting the animals from the hunters. And we make gastro and music events so that people on the island can enjoy together in the nature, music and amazing food.
    We would really appreciate the help and in exchange we will provide housing and food and an amazing experience.
