Eumelia - WWOOF

We just spent three weeks volunteering at Eumelia, an organic agrotourism farm in the south of the Peloponnese 🇬🇷. The place is surrounded by endless olive trees for their fancy olive oil production and has a huge vegetable garden where they grow almost everything they serve for breakfast and dinner 🫒🍅.

Our main tasks were getting the vegetable garden ready for winter planting, helping out in the kitchen, and assisting with the olive oil tastings and cooking classes. It was the perfect mix of work, learning new things, and delicious rewards (although we ate enough yemista to last us a lifetime) 👩‍🌾.

It was surprisingly hard to leave. We really got along with Marilena and Frangiskos, who involved us in everything: from wine and olive oil tastings to Greek music nights and even a chakra dance session 🎶💃.

We’ll miss them, the animals (Sumi made plenty of new friends), our cozy trailer with the best views, and our lovely fellow volunteer from France. Eumelia truly felt like home 💛.Read more
