Informationen
Beschreibung
We are a native english and slovenian speaking family (irish/slovenian) who recently moved from London for a new way of life closer to nature. We are not farmers, we have a background in performing and media arts but we are learning fast. We are restoring a traditional stone farmhouse and working with the land according to permaculture principles. We have 18 acres (7 hectares) of land which is a mix of meadows, woodlands and soon to be herb and vegetable gardens. We live on the land in tents in the summer months, cook on an open fire, shower using water heated by the sun and use compost toilets. We have electricity, a water supply and high speed fibre internet . We are low on infrastructure at the moment and that's where we need help! We are not a working farm but we grow some vegetables.

Arbeit
we are looking for independent ,mature people with some skills with their hands and who are looking to stay for at least three weeks
If you are skilled at building or carpentry this would be highly desirable
also we are interested in people who can tutor our children, so people with teaching skills and experience working with children
there are lots of things to do where no previous skill is required including: maintaining woodland, cutting grass, fixing fences, strimming, weeding vegetable gardens, cooking communal meals, moving piles of stuff from A to B.
we have two children 12 and 5 years old so the ability to get along with children is important - some childcare might be needed
we also might need to be away from the property while you are staying to the ability to be self motivated and self sufficient is importantGesprochene Sprachen

If you like hillwalking we are on the path to the famous local mountain Donacka Gora. The locals love to forage and collect mushrooms in the woods around us, we are amateurs but learning. There are not much options for nightlife apart from listening to the owls. The skys are often clear and we like to learn the constellations when we are not staring into the campfire.
if you come and stay with us we expect you to be engaged with our project and the other volunteers and not using us as a base for excursions and disappearing at every available free moment - we also are critical of too much time spent on phones so we don't expect you to be carrying a device with you for the majority of the timeEtwas mehr Information
