Descripción
We are Jan and Will, a couple from the Netherlands. We are living in Greece since 2017. In the summertime we rent 2 accommodations for guests at our small paradise. We live in a rural part of the South-West Peloponnese, Messinia - Greece. Although easy accessible, our spot is rural, amidst olive groves and very quiet. Entertainment here you find in nature itself. The view is into a valley, to the mountains. We have 2 dogs, cats and chickens. Next to the rental, we have a number of Olive trees that need maintainance. And because of the little rain that we got last years we started infrastructure for Pernaculture in the olive grove, with the help of WorkAwayers, in fall 2024. Next to us, also our daughter is living in her own house at our property.
From WorkAwayers we ask to be hard-working, pro-active and reliable to do the jobs.
We can make you a vegetarian meal but we will not provide you with vegan food.
We appreciate to have a videocall before we decide to accept your request.

Outside of the season there's a lot of work in the olive grove and the gardens among the accommodations. This means to clean the gardens from weeds, to prune and cut branches, remove old plants and plant new ones. Clean the grounds of the olive grove and around the trees. Prolonging the infrastructure for Permaculture.
Because a lot of our amenities are made of wood also sanding, priming and painting is part of the tasks.
Also I can need some help cleaning and taking care of the chickens and the coop.
Transferring the old compost to the vegetable garden and cleaning and planting in the vegetable garden.
Help is needed at the end of October - November for harvesting of the olives.
If more workawayers are staying help might be needed at preparing meals.
