Join us!

Want to come meet us and help us here on the project?

We are waiting for you at the farm!

Here are different ways you can join us and bring in your valuable good vibe, energy, and skills:

As visitor: Dio Pigadia is a public place where visitors are welcome. Please let us know in advance for visits, so we ensure we are available to welcome you and give you a tour. We welcome you every Thursday at 5 pm for a farm tour. We will ask for a participation of 10e/person. Thanks!
As a Guest: We can host you in our beautiful cottages to relax in nature, reconnect, and visit our beautiful region. By doing so you will directly help us financially. Have vacations with meaning! Check out the Renting Cottages section for more info.
As Active Guest: We recommend this for guests who want to participate in the farm/community life on a free-will basis. This is perfect for Digital Nomads who need time for their professional activity but still want a taste of the community permaculture lifestyle! During the low season, we can give lower renting prices for those participating in community tasks. This usually implies participating in cooking and dishes duties. Contact us for more info!
As Community Volunteer (minimun 4 weeks). The full Dio Pigadia experience! Community volunteers are the backbone of Dio Pigadia. You will experience first-hand the community and permaculture lifestyle, and become fully part of the family. You will participate in all the activities, rotations, and tasks. You will benefit from the knowledge and guidance of the permanent members but are more than welcome to share your knowledge, take responsibility, and help in the decision-making. Check out the Volunteer section for more info!
As a Short-Term Volunteer. This is an option for those who want to be volunteering but can’t stay the whole 4 weeks. Everyone should get a chance but it takes time and energy for us to show things around and introduce new ones to the farm. We ask for a participation of 10e/day. Thanks for understanding. Check out the Volunteer section for more info!
As a Workshop Participant. In the spring and autumn seasons we will offer thrilling workshops! Participants will benefit from the experience and skills of the Pigadians and other invited specialists. This will be an intensive knowledge exchange experience. Check out the Workshops section for more info!
As a Pigadian. Pigadians are the permanent members of the community. They are responsible for a specific part of the project and involve themselves all year long on-site. We are always growing and opportunities will arise. Stay tuned!

I spent 3 days as volunteer at Dio Pigadia and it was a memorable experience! It’s amazing how the community runs the farm, educate the newcomers and are … More able to sustain the landscape and all its beauty products in such a nurturing way. The people on the farm are super warm and welcoming, the space is clean, the homemade meals are amazing and everybody is kind in educating about how the farm is operating. Can’t wait to come back!

Amazing place where you can explore sustainable practices including composting, mulching, wood work, lacto-fermentation, low-technologies... in an interacting … More community. Jules is very willing to share his knowledge with you and explore shared governance. Don't miss this opportunity to live an off-grid experience.

My daughter and I only wanted to visit Dio Pigadia for one afternoon but we ended up staying three weeks. It was a truly great experience for us and we … More both enjoyed taking care of the animals, gardens and veggies on the farm and fell in love with this little paradise. We ate daily together with the other volunteers amazing fresh meals with very tasty vegetables from the garden, helped out at a beach clean up event and even went sailing together.
Saying goodbye was a hard one here but we both know for sure we want to come back, so it's only bye for now and thank you for everything Jules.

What a breath of fresh air! Fantastic community effort and the host, Jules has done amazing work in regenerative permaculture work, super cute friendly … More animals, dogs, cat, pony and even a donkey. The love and care is evident. Tiny little shop with yummy goodies and super cool accommodation for a real feel of a getaway. Off beaten track. I will be back! Well done Dio Pigadia team

A wonderful farm with wonderful people.
The vision of the place and the way that they think realistically about permaculture and self sustainability is … More inspiring!
So if you get the chance to go there you should definitely go and enjoy your visit there!
The area is amazing and the olives trees in combination with the wild see is a dream come true 🤩

What a great place! We came across Dio Pegidda online and Jules took all the time to show us around and answer our questions. It’s a community based ecological … More farm that really takes care of the land. We visited more projects in and around Greece and at Dio Peggida they realized a lot in just 6 years. Thanks Jules for the inspiring afternoon and we’re curious to return in a couple of years to see the progress!

We’ve stayed for a week in dio pigadia with my family as active guests. Our stay was beyond expectations. Stunning and comfortable place while it brings … More you back to basics. Thanks to the amazing staff and volunteers, we very fast felt part of the community. We highly recommend for a special experience in Peloponnese. All the family will take away something and reconnect with the essential laws of nature.

Joke and I had a holiday on the Pelopenesos. We stayed in Pylos and did some hiking and visiting archeological sites. Since our daughter and son in-law … More have a biodynamic vegetable farm in the Netherlands we googled on bio-farm. We had a hit for Dio Pigadia Farm. Perma-culture was the key word here. Since we know something about the filosofie of permaculture we made contact with Jules. We visited the place for a few hours. Warmly welcomed we had a tour around the property with a lot of information and explanation. A really inspiring place where you can really dive into sustainable living in every aspect. Great respect for the people there, who have founded a nucleus with great potency and expectation. Good luck and thank you for your dedication.
