Natural farming estate in Euboea, Greece, making Natural Amber Wine and Unfiltered EV Olive Oil
Central Greece
I am Dylan Araps, a 28-year-old former software engineer known for my open source work and emphasis on simple, maintainable software.
Several years ago, my family and I left Australia to resettle in our ancestral homeland of Greece. We later acquired a long-neglected agricultural estate in the sleepy village of Amphithea on the island of Euboea.
This estate became the foundation of WILD, a family-run agricultural venture focused on land regeneration and the creation of living products.
Volunteers have the opportunity to learn about natural farming practices, natural winemaking, olive oil production, traditional Greek plant-based cooking, and whatever seasonal projects are underway at the time.
Our interests include simple living, minimalism, cooking, gardening, movies, music, philosophy, hiking, cycling, running, swimming, foraging, and more...
Each day we will come together to enjoy a shared plant-based breakfast and main meal. Additional meals can be prepared by WWOOFERS in our fully equipped kitchen. For those who prefer other options, a tavern within walking distance offers non-plant-based meals.
Sleeping arrangements vary by season and currently include tent camping, either in your own tent or in our yurts. A small house is planned for the future, but until then, all accommodation is tent-based.
We respond within 24 hours and would appreciate the same courtesy. :)

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. Dylan and his family were over the top accommodating and generous in every way, from hosting us comfortably, feeding us, and even taking us to the village when we needed things. They made us feel immediately at home. The days we spent with them were very enriching in terms of what we learned from their admirable lifestyle choices and natural farming methods. It was fascinating to learn how they make their olive oil and wine, which are true elixirs. The meals were incredibly delicious, made with strictly organic, whole-food, plant-based ingredients. We highly enjoyed helping them set up their garden beds, cooking, maintaining the trees and vines around the property, and fixing fences along other simple tasks. We loved being a part of their blossoming project and found it to be very inspiring. The surroundings are stunningly beautiful and if anyone appreciates simple, down to earth living, and being in the company of kind hearted people, they will have a wonderful time. Thank you so, so much for everything! <3 We can’t wait to be back someday
