  Description

  Hello, we are young family Ignas, Gabija, our son Nojus (3 years old), and small breed dog Žiogas. We are living in a beautiful Kardokai ecovillage and community. Here we live happily surounded of friendly, like-minded neighbours and wild forests, not far from Kazlų Rūda town.
  We built straw bale house for our family (in our village most of the buildings are from straw bale), we have garden, which is mostly full of mulch. So we try to grow vegetables and fruits as naturaly as we can based on permaculture knowledge.
