  Description

  We are a family having a small ecological farm with 5 ha land in Tuscany and making our own wine and olive oil. The products are for our own consumption and are not being sold.
  
  The house is a personal renovated stone farmers-house with a pool ;) and up to 12 beds to accommodate family friends and helping hands.

  and
  Sa 7.2.2026 until Sa 14.2.2026
  (not before and not after🙂)
  
  
  We are cutting our olive trees and burn the branches as campfires if its good weather and we also do construction, building a little house for having a workingplace and chopping or cutting wood for the housestoves or work inside the barn when its rainy. We are working every day about 5 hours but we are also enjoy our time around the work so there would be time for you to do the same or just enj, oy the nature :) ALSO this year at the same time as the olive tree cutting we are renovating a old barn to a wine makers Cantina, where we are also could need some help.

  We are harvesting the olives by hand. So if you are interested in ecological farming and you like to get your hands on some renovations projects you are right here :)

  We are looking for people who want to help harvest olives in Oktober and November each year. We also look for people for the cutting of the olivetrees each February of the year....and in both periods we are also doing some renovations on the house, building projects and some agriculture maintenance/landscaping in the garden during this period.
  
  We are harvesting young and old olive trees if its good weather and fixing broken nets and chopping wood or bringing the olives to the olivemill or do something inside when its rainy. We are working every day about 5 hours but we are also enjoy our time around the work so there would be time for you to do the same or just enjoy the nature :)
  
  ALSO this year at the same time as the olive harvest we are renovating a old barn to a wine makers Cantina, where we are also could need some help. So if your handy and like to help there, feel free to let us know :)

  Possibilité d’accueillir les digital nomads

  Since beginning of 2021 we have internet. It always used to be a wifi free space but in times like these we decided that it makes it easier for us and others to spend time here.

• 

  Espace pour garer des vans

  We have a big space where you can park your van (even with a really nice view ;)) But the road in the last 200 meters is a bit stoney, needs a bit experience.

• 

  Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux

  We have no fence at the property and there is a lot of wildlife around but if the dog or animal is used to that than we have no problem with you bringing pets.
