    Description

    We are a family who live in small village in the beautiful landscape od rocky area. We have a small farm where we plant the vegetables and fruits, keep one draft horse, poultry, rabbits and the bees.

    Our dream is to be self-sufficient, to have own vegetables and meat for whole year. We like to work outside. We work with our horse in the field. We don´t use any chemikal spray. We like to try new accesses to farming (permaculture, regenerative agrosystem, etc.)

    We have farmed for 12 years and we are learning a lot about farming all the time. We cultivate 0,1 ha of a field where we grow the vegetables. Vegetables are intended for our family. If we have enough we sell it.

    We have also 4 ha of pastures where we keep there four sheep with lambs and one horse this year. We look after the wood.
    We keep 80 beehives and we welcome any help with the honey harvest, work in the vegetable field, with the preparation wood for the winter, with reconstraction of the house and barn etc.
    We try to farm in harmony with nature, to respect the laws of the nature. We observe, hoe the ecosystem works and we are still learning!

    We are friendly and we are looking for the new voluntaries.
