Dio Pigadia Olive Collective

Mesochori, Pelion, Greece

Old olive terraces step down a Greek hillside toward the sea, tended by a small ecovillage rebuilding soil and water by hand. Harvest, pressing, and preserving shape the calendar, and the table is always full.

Projects this land needs

Open opportunities for a teacher residency to take on.

  • Rebuild dry-stone terraces in the old grove
  • Plant a Mediterranean food forest between the olives
  • Set up a small olive press and preserving kitchen
