The experience


Why not join us picking olives at Casale Zeno. A refurbished Podere with four Airbnb apartments. Situated in 8 hectares of Olive groves. Some 1200 Young olive trees await your helping hands in October. Join us for the whole experience from daily harvesting to sitting around in the Frantoi while the oil trickles out of the process into our 50 ltr drums.
There are other jobs to do around the place but overall it will be the Olive harvest.

Program Details

We already have a volunteer programme with you and it works perfect this is just another position to help us with Olive harvest were we need more people. It's a great experience picking the olives and seeing the end result we all have a great time bonding over the three weeks lots of fun at lunch and in the evenings.

Activities & Shift

The shifts will vary according to weather so we can't pick in the rain so we use them as down time and then do what we have to do when the weather is good but overall nobody works over 25 hours a week

Rules

We don't have rules as such just politeness helps a lot
