[LOOKING for LONG TERM HELP (1 month or more) for SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN]
You can also write for short time help.
We are Juš and Kim (26, 28), an engineer and designer by education, farmers by profession. Currently living the life in Bohinjska Bela, Slovenia.
In a valley carved by the river and glacier, on the periphery of the only national park, both river banks are suitable for cultivation and settlements. On the west-side bank, surrounded by densely forested plateau and the easternmost parts of the Julian Alps, we are regenerating a “sleeping” farm back to life.
The idea of alternative cultivation was new to our “set in stone” surroundings - it was quite a challenge, but after a lot of debates and hard work, we are now entrusted with our family's land (approx. 5 hectares).
We started with the knowledge from modern techniques of regenerative agriculture and upgraded the model to adapt it to new standards of not starting from zero, but starting from too much and moving towards zero - making it easier for future generations to start similar projects on their own.
The terrain here is hard to cultivate and being a farmer is not yet profitable or respected. With our projects and lifestyle we are improving the stigmatisation of farming life and hopefully encouraging people around us to understand the new paradigm. Our goal is being a good model others can adapt, enjoying farming that allows harvesting not just organic crops, but also other amenities of modern life, without overexploitation.
