Description
Hi, I'm Mick. I've just started a permaculture project. About three hectares of meadow and orchard and a couple of acres of forest glades. Aiming for self sufficiency for about 5 people to start with, hoping for more ultimately, and involve cooperative efforts from the local and international community. Maybe to become a slave for teaching and learning. There is extra space for experimental permaculture agriculture projects too. DIY renewable electricity is also part of the plan.
I'm looking for bright people with initiative who can thrive working hard to create something of value.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Slovenia has a strong DIY culture and exceptionally green organic approach to agriculture and conservation. Locally here, most people I know are highly proactive and generous with sharing knowledge, loving life, good fun. Close to Italy, Austria and Croatia. Ljubljana has a great international community too.
Travelers will primarily learn permaculture techniques and have the opportunity to work on exploring and developing new techniques. Similar for the small farm scale renewable energy work. Also a fair bit of landscaping needs doing.
The location is very special and beautiful, views over the Karawanken mountain range and Ljubljana basin, Polhograjski Dolomiti, and as far as Triglav in the Julian Alps. Friendly locals. Many people from Ljubljana and the surrounding area hike up to the Sv. Jakob church on the hill by the house.Aide

Peaceful spot, simply perfect for relaxing away from the busy bustle. There is allot of action too if you want it. Lots of stunning hikes and bike rides in the area. Ljubljana 30-40 minutes by bicycle. About 80 minutes to return up the hill though. Or a 25 minute drive. Hitch hiking is common and easy here.
10 minutes walk through the forest to 3 gostilne (restaurant/bistro) in the neighbouring village of Topol, all with excellent food. Nice swimming spots in the Sora river at nearby Medvode.Informations complémentaires
