We stayed for roughly a week and a half with Anis. He is extremely kind and it is very apparent that one of his top priorities is to share Tunisia’s culture, which we were very excited about! We don’t speak French or Arabic, but Anis helped communicate throughout our stay, including checking us in for our ferry ride when we were leaving Tunisia. Due to weather conditions, we were only able to stay/work on the farm for about 6 days during our stay. We mainly filtered olive oil, but also pruned trees for about an hour one day, and otherwise went on trips where we visited other farms/operations. While this was interesting, it would have been nice to have some more work to learn the skills involved in the process and utilize them. I would recommend this farm for people who want light work and are okay with roughing it, as there’s no running water/plumbing, no heat source, electricity, or wifi on the farm property (the picture of the room currently listed on the profile is not of the farm property where you mainly stay). Additionally, the food was delicious and cooked by a Tunisian local (when staying on the farm), but we rarely ate breakfast. I also think it would be more fun to come during harvest, where you are working with a team and can make more friends! Anis is still a new host so not everything you may need may be accounted for initially, but he was happy to accommodate all the requests we made (flashlights, candles, a lighter, etc.).

Je tiens à remercier Anis, pour cette expérience incroyable que j’ai vécue au sein de son oliveraie ! J’ai adoré en apprendre davantage sur les oliviers, la récolte et l’extraction de l’huile. Anis est une véritable source de savoir et m’a permis de rencontrer des personnes expertes dans ce domaine. Chaque jour, j’ai découvert de près toute la vie sociale et professionnelle qui tourne autour des oliviers. C’était une expérience profondément humaine : j’y ai rencontré des personnes formidables et j’ai vécu une parenthèse hors du temps, où l’on savoure la simplicité et la beauté de la vie. Chaque jour, je travaillais avec les ouvriers, utilisais les même outils qu'eux, travaillais au même rythme qu'eux et me donnais à 100% POUR EUX. Merci encore pour ton accueil Anis et à très bientôt !
