    Hi everybody

    We are Gianfranco and Paloma,
    we are a couple italian and spanish , and we have an olive farm near Enguera (Valencia).
    We are looking for serious nature lover who would like to volunteer helping us in plant care and olive harvesting.
    At 8 km from the first village, there are lovely walks all around in the mountains. It is a wonderful and peaceful place. We would like to point out that we are not a "farm business" but just a couple of nature and good food enthusiasts; and what we produce is only for our own use and not for sale.

    Ciao a tutti

    Siamo Gianfranco e Paloma, una coppia italo/spagnola, e abbiamo una fattoria con olivi vicino Enguera (Valencia).
    Siamo alla ricerca di amanti della natura che ci aiutino nella cura delle piante e nella raccolta delle olive.
    Siamo a 8 km dal paese, in un contesto meraviglioso e tranquillo, con passeggiate tra le colline e i laghetti della zona. Ci teniamo a precisare che non siamo un'attività commerciale ma solo due amanti della natura e della buona cucina. I nostri prodotti sono per uso interno e non destinati alla vendita.
