  Description

  Come and help out and enjoy!
  We are Luka & Natja and we live on a small farm which we would like to bring back to life. We have 2 kids, 3 cats, 1 dog and 40 chickens.
  
  Luka is all about healthy food, DIY projects, bare foot, simple living and high thinking :)
  Natja is totally in love with animals, she is amazed by old faith spiritual practices and she has a little collection of carnivorous plants. She loves photography as well.
  
  We both deeply respect nature, so that is why we bought this farm :) ... to create our dreams and to share it with you! At this stage, we need mostly help with gardening,farming , cooking, general maintenance, DIY projects (small greenhouse, chicken hoop house, kid's tree house,...).
  
  Be a part of our story and join us on our modestly but stress free small farm ( homestead) which we are creating together. Our dream is to create a place where people can come and learn a lot of life skills and also relax and most importantly -connect with themselves and our mother Nature.
