The experience

We need help planting, harvesting, & preserving. We also need help clearing brambles & making forest paths. We would also like to build a tool shed, solar dryer, & an upcycled nursery.

We collaborate alongside each other, sometimes in silence & sometimes chatting away!

We hope for open communication, sharing knowledge & enjoying the time spent together on the land :)

Program Details

We work and live together and so we agree the day before what will be the goals for the next day and when it works best to do them.

We take turns cooking and cleaning and share meals together on our working days. On your days off, we ask you to organize your meals on your own, you can buy ingredients from the supermarket in town, and they can also make a custom sandwhich for a few euros. There is also an affordable restaurant in town where you can eat local dishes!


Activities & Shift

Our activities and schedule change day to day based on the season and our energy level.

This fall we need help planting herbs. We want to transform parts of the land into a herb garden, and would like to plant a wide variety!

Our primary activities are
- Growing our own vegetables with natural farming method
- Creating seed balls and sowing green manure to regenerate the soil
- Harvesting fruit, veggies, and herbs for our own food and medicine
- Foraging wild herbs and mushrooms 🍄 in the forests/beaches nearby to enjoy
- Creating preserves and ferments for our winter pantry
- Clearing brambles and liberating trees
- Processing and storing wood 🪵 we've pruned or that has fallen to be self sufficient with our energy in the winter

Between Oct 1-18 we have the olive harvest 🫒 Come join us connecting with these beautiful trees, spending lots of time outdoors, sharing with each other, and emjoying lots and lots of fresh EVO 😋
