Description
Hi everyone. We are Andreja and Vuk (and Daria and Lav) and we live in the village of Bare, Municipality of Knic. Lived on a farm and we try to be as unspoiled as possible. On our farm, we produce cheese, process meat, grow fruit, vegetables, and honey... We also squeeze oil from soybeans, sunflowers, walnuts... I live at home with two small children. We are located 17 KM from two big cities - Kragujevac and Gornji Milanovac. In our village, there are 4 shops, a cafe, a pharmacy, a post office... We need a lot of help with various house maintenance projects. Clearing trees, feeding animals, pressing oil, building with ecological materials, etc. until now we found a land and houses for few families from all over the world ... if you need something like that,you can contact me

Good experience with Vuk and Andreja. At the time, we were the only volunteers there, and we had our own room so we could choose between privacy and socializing with the family. The area is very pretty for walks, and there are a couple small stores in town for food items.The city is not too far, and Vuk was able to drive us there when we had time.… read more
