Program Details

Welcome to Paxa Dola Olive Harvest Days – a special time of year when we gather in nature and harvest olives together near Mostar. This experience is about simple rural life, community spirit, fresh air and shared moments in the olive grove. Volunteers are welcome to join us during the harvest season and be part of this joyful tradition.

Activities & Shift

During the olive harvest season (usually October–November), volunteers help us in the olive grove and around the harvest process. Activities may include harvesting olives, collecting and sorting, carrying small crates, keeping the working area tidy, and supporting the group with simple tasks during the day.
The schedule depends on weather conditions and the daily plan, and we always organize the work step by step, as a team.

Rules

We ask all volunteers to respect the peaceful atmosphere of the place, the people around them, and the shared spaces. Cleanliness, responsibility and mutual respect are very important to us.
This is a calm, nature-based experience focused on community, meaningful work and enjoying the harvest season — not a party environment. We appreciate a friendly attitude, cooperation, and a spirit of kindness.
