The Experience

By helping our family-run agricultural business thrive, you will support local, healthy food production and respect for nature's rhythms. You will contribute to the vitality of the Tuscan countryside. Ranging from grape and olive harvesting to land care (pruning, weeding) and gathering fruits and vegetables. Some jobs are simple, but high physical effort is sometimes required. We seek curious and eager volunteers, for at least two weeks.

Overall - authentic Tuscan farm life, great food, beautiful area and lovely people.

Carlo and Giada were really friendly and good to work with. We worked from 7am - 12pm and had lunch at 12pm each day. Lunch was usually pasta with fresh fruit and vegetables from the farm and WINE! This is a farm so most of the work was outside and requires physical fitness, we did stop for short mid morning break and eat fruit off the trees (one of the highlights) . The accommodation is a 5 minute walk by foot from the farm & is a quaint Tuscan apartment. The hosts were also flexible with work days.
