ABOUT US :
Our place is located in the village Red Mountain (Tsitelmta, Western Georgia, South Caucasus) exactly on a hilltop where the Chitaishvili or the Children of the birds, have lived for centuries and just like birds they have flown away and returned.
Our story is the story of three challenges and three returns; three times where the fires of the hearth were extinguished and then rekindled.
History:
At the beginning of the 20th century, all of the children of the family had moved away and our great-great-great grandfather Lazare Chitaishvili found himself alone, after the loss of his wife, in our house at the top of our hill surrounded by tea bushes, vineyards and fruit trees. Lazare to preserve the house and estate decided to gift the house and estate to encourage his granddaughter, Marta. It was a rather brave and extraordinary decision to give household to a woman of the family! Almost 100 years from this time, Lika, my mother has decided to move back to her historical, wooden house from overcrowded Tbilisi.
Vision:
This place means a family (or group of people) living in a village.
We love people, good conversations, good food, and some wine along with the music!
Our vision is to bring life back to the forgotten villages in Guria, West Georgia by building a place for a diverse community and agro-ethnic experiences, a place where you always want to return to. We invite guests to stay at our farm, eat fresh organic food farm-to-the-table, take part in agricultural activities: tea picking, taking care of kitchen garden, vineyard, and hazelnut plantation. And to engage in various recreational activities.
We have a historical house with a 1 hectare (10,000 square meters) farm that includes a kitchen garden, indigenous vines, hazelnut plantation, bamboo trees, tea bushes, and even a small rivulet Kikvata.
We plan to grow much more!
We are building various glamping places in the yard.
We need volunteers to help with:
☞ Help with Construction for the following projects: Eco house, Nalia hut, Shed, Storage for Goods, Wine Cellar
☞ General Maintenance of house and yard
☞ Gardening
☞ Cleaning & Housekeeping
☞ Improving water managment
☞ Helping with Guests
☞ Occasional Cooking
Special Project:
EARTH ARCHITECTURE WORKSHOP PROJECTS:
1)Earthen Floor
Imagine a floor that washes as easy as tile but is made completely out of earth! It’s energy-efficient and beautiful and oh it’s even a technique that our ancestors used and knew but that we need to rediscover in Georgia. Participants will learn the technique and help build a small test floor in our Nalia (clamping renovated corn cob)
2)Earthen walls
You can build your own structures with your own hands from your own earth and straw and have it last hundreds of years and be more energy-efficient than concrete! In Georgia and all over the world we used to build this way: Why don’t we do it anymore? Because we don’t teach each other the technique! Come help us and in exchange we will teach you the technique so that you can use it in the future.
