What is expected of you:

5 hours per day community work as per normal volunteering, however we will be doing a lot more tree planting and olive picking. See volunteering page

You can eat an olive off a tree, its hard and bitter. Once picked and cleaned, the olives that we don't use for olive oil get cured in a variety of methods. Cure your own olives and take some home!
