Details

  • Description

    Description

    We are a community build on the principles of permaculture. Our main focus is on natural building, nutrient cycling, forest gardening and local food production. We manage 8.7 hectars of land that includes woodland, pasture and a permaculture forest garden. We bought our land here 9 years ago because of the unspoiled nature, the rough cliffs and the close community feeling.
    We are currently 10 permanent residents: 6 adults and 4 kids.

    What else ...

    We live on a beautiful island called Bornholm, in the middle of the Baltic sea. The island is famous for its nature, historic sights (incl. Iron age settlements and a mediaval village), sandy beaches and a number of sunny days. There's plenty of trails for hiking and biking, beach walks, sea swimming. A bus passes within 15 min walk from the property that can take you to a bunch of historical sights and coast resort towns.
