Description
I am on site from approximately 15th of March 2025 till the end of september 2025. During the winter I am in Belgium.
We ( me & biodynamic farm Biomara) are creating a place to host (young) people who want to learn and practice ecological (semi) off grid living, building with natural and local materials and bio-dynamic farming. To finish the infrastructure for future guests I need help.
We have a functioning kitchen and bathroom in the main house. We are now working on an outside kitchen, outside showers (for the camping guests), a swimming pond (also part of the water management system). Gardening and setting up more camping infrastructure is also on the list. There is sufficient accommodation for the volunteers (during six months per year).
I am looking for people who want to assist me and who also have some ideas they want to try executing. Daily tasks would be: gardening (cutting grass, repairing the soil), maintenance of outside infrastructure and help tidy the house.
On the camp ground, it is mainly clearing the land, working with wood and help plant some trees and plants. And sometimes assist me with more technical stuff (I am very technical myself, but physically not so strong anymore).
There’s also the possibility to help with the Bio Dynamic farm BIomara...
The deal is very clear: 24 hours of work per week in exchange for full board.
Outside of work there’s lots of activities in nature or in the nearby town of Krizevci. You can also take a train to Zagreb...
Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Next to the village, the town of Krizevci offers great food, bars, shops and a train to Zagreb on a regular basis (60km). Further more, we are a learning community with lectures and workshops on the economy of communion.
Help
The help would consist of teamwork around the house and in the garden. For the farming experience we collaborate with a very famous bio-dynamic farmer , in the same village. A lot of the work is about deconstruction and salvage materials, but also install non technical items such as fencing.

Accommodation
At first we provide tents on a camp ground and shared use of bathroom and kitchen in the main house. Later more infrastructure will be installed on the campground, such as composting toilet, open air shower, electrical hookups, etc! Update: A bathroom for guests and volunteers is being build. And one volunteer can stay in the campervan on site. I provide a big (or small) tent for other volunteers, including bed etc.)
What else ...
Although a lot of development is needed, it is a beautiful place, nice people, good food and plenty of things to learn about ecological choices and system change
