First and foremost picking olives is a skill that once acquired you can practice anywhere meaning you could pick up extra help/workaway opportunities , learn italian, an authentic experience in the Tuscan countryside unlike any other.
Aide
Starting 01/11 for about a week in one of the most beautiful areas of Tuscany half-way between Florence and Siena to experience the 'real' Tuscan/Italian life with the possibility of visiting all the most interesting art cities all within a short radius of the house we need olive pickers, the harvest starts approx beginning of first week of November about 5/6 days depending on the weather and the number of pickers and the amount of olives.
If you have the following skills and would be interested in staying longer to help us with maintenance mostly woodwork that would be a plus. Woodworking, gardening, wood sawing (logs for the fire) general handyman.
We offer free accomodation and food which most of the time we cook for you, exception made for breakfast. You must be dog lovers ,this would definitely suit someone who is already in Europe and particularly in the France/Italy area to reduce your travelling expenses. If you don't have your private transportation we will be able to pick you up on arrival and drop you off on departure.
Please only reply if you are in good physical condition and like hard work! Harvesting is quite a hard job.
Look forward to hearing from you for a Tuscan adventure.

Working with Marzio has really been a pleasure!
Picking the olives was a hard, but definitely fun job. The accommodation was not onley clean, but also really nice, and the tuscan landscape was just beautiful. Furthermore the tuscan food that was prepared for us was really delicious too!
All in all, I can definitely recommend Marzio as a host.

Gonzalo came and helped us last minute and he was a very valuable find. Willing and able nothing was too much trouble for him and he mixed in well with the other workers in the group. We had a lot of fun and laughter and it was a very good cultural exchange, he learnt to pick olives and we learnt about Argentina his home town. Highly recommend.
