Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We follow a lifestyle based on self-sufficiency. We treat nature and creatures with love and we only get from it that we need.
In the training of our horses, we try to cultivate their natural potential without oppression.We breed and train only horses from Greek breeds.
Finally, I think that because our farm is 100 years old, we are also deeply religious Orthodox Christians. And because traditionally our tradition is accompanied by our religion, I hope you are interested in our way of life.
Projects involving children

Help
We are looking for self motivated, hard working, energetic people who like a variety of work and who appreciate healthy living, good conversation, scenic beauty and physical activity. Volunteers need to be able to work independently as although we are mostly around often busy with work around the farm. Sometimes you will be on you own in sole-charge of the place and the animals.
An interesting and experience with horses is necessary as we have 10 horses - 2 of them are carriage horses, 8 horses for treking all of all between 4-6 years old and also a foal trained them alternative horsemanship. we establish integer, harmonious and trustful relationships.
