Description
We are a family of seven, and in 2018 we moved our biodynamic farm to this new place, basically starting from a scratch... We are in the heart of Southern Bohemia, in a tiny villages, hoping to build up a community farmstead, we apply the principles of biodynamic farming, some permaculture as well. We have 2 cows, 7 goats, milking them, making cheese , two horses to ride and to plough and work on the farm, we grow veggies on 5000 m2, but also in small vegetable patches for the workawayers to be able to learn how to grow their own vegetables on a very small veggie bed (as small as 30 m2). This year we founded an NGO as we intend to work with local Waldorf schools to offer programs for kids to get hands on experience on growing food and making food. We are also working with disabled people to help them be able to grow their own vegetables and spend some time on the farm. We desperately need help"
