Travail
We bought an idyllic farm in good shape in december 2010 and are working hard to turn it into an organic idyllic retreat just 10 min drive from the capital, Ljubljana. There's a lot to be done at all times.
Like preparing the seedling and garden, helping with the horses (as we just started learning about them) renewing the electric fence, some maintenance work, some light construction, cleaning out the woods, making a biological wastewater treatment plant, cleaning up, sometimes household and some child sitting, and a lot more.
In fact any help in any area will be appreciated ;)
On the farm there are 7 horses, 5 cats, 2 dogs? Fish in a tank, tortoises and turtles, vietnamese pigs and a donkey.
We are 2 adults with 4 kids aged 3-14, an elderly person. We are vegetarian non smokers, but don't mind you smoking outside. We don't drink coffee and just occasionally alcohol.
We offer stay in a room in a separate house with showers, toilets and kitchen, or in a trailer for 20 hours work a week (or 4 a day/5 days) and full mostly organic vegetarian pension for 6 hours a day, 5 days per week. We usually have 1-2 meals per day together, the others are self-service.
One day per week we are off as well ;)
We ask you to stay at least 1 month.
Mostly good speed internet is available to use with your laptop, laundry washing upon request. Public transport is 3-4 km downhill.

Autres choses...
We expect you to be honest, flexible, creative, capable to do manual work and work on your own, clean up after yourselves, have a sense of humour and sometimes to just sit back and take it easy ;) when things go their own way.
We like to be nude, when the weather is appropriate :) but don't expect you to join us.
There are beautiful hiking, biking and riding trails right from the farm. Bikes are available.
Looking forward to meeting you :)

This was Luke's first experience as a Workawayer and as well his first time away from home.
After being shown how do things, he did his jobs well and learned quickly, despite being unexperienced and sometimes maybe a little at a loss at what to do or not to do. He was at times easily influenced and captivated by other helpers.
Definately he has more

Katharina stayed with us for one month during August.
She together with some other amazing helpers made up a team we trusted and could rely enough upon, to take a weekend your for my husband and myself, leaving the care for the children and animals completely in their hands!
We came back to happy children and people, everything taken care of.

Iris and Ales have a beautiful home in one of the most beautiful countries we've visited. They went out of their way to make us comfortable and enjoy our traveling, while allowing us to pursue projects that we truly enjoyed and that (hopefully!) helped them as well. We totally support their mission for self-sufficiency and were glad to be more
Amanda and Jonathan have been amazing helpers. Nothing was to hard for them. They made our garden continuing to thrive, working also in the scorcing sun until they had blisters from being burnt, but still wanting to continue work in the garden. We actually were afraid they might have gotten too much sun in Serbia on their heads before coming here, more
Iris and Alesh live in such a beautiful farm. They were very kind and were always asking if I needed anything, and their apartment I stayed in was so nice. There was a lot of work to do everyday, but I also had fun when we would relax by the bonfire at night. :) Also their kids are precious, a handful, but had a lot of fun with them! Thank you for more
Elisa is a happy, merry, gentle person. Thanks to her help, the garden took shape and is growing nicely now. She wasn't afraid of any job, even hard and dirty work and did everything thorougly.
Happy to welcome you back sometime.

It was his first experience of this kind and he tired very hard to do everything good and to work hard. He did many things he didn't do before and tired to do the jobs good and to find his own way to solve challenges. He seemed nervous at times trying to do a good job, so some little accidents happened.
He is a wonderful cook and went to great more

Henri was of much help, unfortunately he stayed only a week. He took to anything we asked him to do and did his best. He was a natural with horses, and I still didn't figure out, what he whispered into the horses ear. Don never went so nice before nor after.
We miss his guitar playing and teaching.
