Reclaim time to grow

Come join us at Tin'Italy and discover the joys of volunteering in organic farming and self-sufficiency!

Whether you're looking for a relaxing break from a busy life or simply want to enjoy some time in the beautiful countryside while working with the land, our volunteering is perfect for you.

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about small-scale food production, permaculture, and some practical DIY skills that will motivate you to live more sustainably.

Depending on the time of year, you might get involved in planting, harvesting, and various activities around the land–a great way to connect with nature. And if you're interested, in the future you can also try your hand at archery, woodworking, or blacksmithing!

Spending time at Tin'Italy is a truly enriching experience. It can help you develop a sense of self-reliance and a deeper connection with the environment.

We're excited to share our knowledge and learn from your experiences too. We'd love for you to join our friendly community and become part of the Tin'Italy community!

“If there is one thing clear about the centuries dominated by the factory and the wheel, it is that although the machine can make everything from a spoon to a landing-craft, a natural joy in earthly living is something it never has and never will be able to manufacture. ”
— Henry Beston

Currently we only have volunteering availability between the months of October and November (for olive harvesting).

But make sure to keep tabs on us and feel free to contact us with any questions.

We’re progressively developing the land and have various projects on the way.

From Our Volunteers

  • "I highly recommend volunteering/woofing at Tiny Italy. I was there to help pick and harvest the Olives in October and it was a fantastic experience. Beautiful and verdant surroundings and beautiful people- Anouk and Santi make you feel at home and are very knowledgeable. Returned feeling revigorated and peaceful."

    Naomi

  • "Volunteering at Tiny Italy alongside Anouk and Santi makes you feel like home. Warmest hosts ever! And the satisfaction we got from connecting with nature and making such amazing olive oil (and, being Greek, I can tell good olive oil) was absolutely worth it all the way!"

    Chryssa

  • "Sono venuto per aiutare Anouk e Santi con la raccolta delle olive e mi è piaciuta molto l'esperienza. Ho imparato molto e l'attività è stata abbastanza gestibile. Proprio la pausa attiva di cui avevo bisogno. Non vedo l'ora di ripeterla durante la raccolta dell'anno prossimo."

    anonymous

  • "When Anouk and Santi offered the experience to come and harvest olives in Umbria, I jumped at the opportunity. I’d never done anything like this before. I really enjoyed being outdoors in beautiful rural Italy, learning about olive harvesting. We even got to see where our olives were pressed and we tasted the olive oil we produced. Which was incredible!"
