Update:
We are renovating the apartment, we do not have space to host volunteers until spring 2022.
About us:
We are a group of friends, two families with four kids aged from 2 to 6 years old.
We are taking very first steps in creating a self-sufficient, eco, green, off-grid, permaculture, experimental farm. A place where children can play and learn and live a happy life. A place where we grow healthy organic food. A place where people can come for a visit and stay a while to cooperate with us in creation of a beautiful life for all of us.
We have very big dreams and we will fulfill them step by step.
We are focusing around natural building methods. We will be recycling building materials whenever we can. Mostly we use wood for the construction, but we will also be working with, straw, clay, hempcrete and stone. We plan to build a dry toilets with shower and outdoor kitchen. We will build a hothouse, green house, walipini, seedbeds. We will build a jurt like space for children. Also few tiny houses will be built in the near future.
Last year we've started a project of a mobile natural home built on semi-trailer.
We did most of the work ourselves, starting from the project, building the wooden/straw modules, assembling it all together, building exterior walls, roof, fixing all the windows and doors.
We are now in the process of building up the interior. And this is where we need help the most, so if you are experienced in construction you are very much welcome :)
There are plenty things to work on, wooden floors/walls, clay plaster walls, plumbing, electrics, furnitures, etc.
We are trying to use reclaimed, recycled or second hand materials, wood, straw and clay we are collecting locally.
More details will be coming here soon...

We are all vegetarians for many years, we could teach you how to cook healthy vegetable meals. We could teach you how to bake your own bread. We travelled and volunteered ourselves so we know the needs of volunteers. We are hoping to create a beautiful place so we can share it with other people. A place that will bring light and positive vibrations and a beautiful outcome to the world around us.
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
