Description
Welcome to our farm in the beautiful Bizeljsko region, near the Croatian border! We are a young couple (Anja and Dominik) who purchased this abandoned farm two years ago, and we've been working hard to transform it into a self-sustainable paradise. Our farm spans 1.3 hectares and already features a 200m2 greenhouse and a large garden. Among the five buildings on the property are a new house, an old house, a stable, a shed, and a garage with an apartment.
Our main focus is on organic farming, where we grow a variety of vegetables, fruits, and herbs. However, with our newborn baby, we could really use some extra hands to help us with gardening tasks such as planting, composting, digging holes, grass cutting, removing weeds, fruit drying, and picking plants. Additionally, assistance with housecleaning, kitchen duties, and various renovation and construction tasks would be greatly appreciated.
Although we don't have any animals on the farm, we do have a beloved adopted cat named BorChi. We do not have a business and the farm produce is for personal consumption only. Our ultimate vision for this place is to create a harmonious and self-sustainable farm where we can host various events such as spiritual and gardening workshops, construction knowledge sharing, fasting retreats etc.. We also plan to welcome tourists who will have the opportunity to taste our delicious local organic food.
As lovers of our own organic, vegetarian food, we enjoy spending warm evenings by the fire, engaging in conversations, and stargazing. While we currently spend most of our time on the farm, we do occasionally visit our other properties near Bled (an old house near the forest) and near Ljubljana (an apartment), where we would also appreciate assistance with cleaning and renovation tasks.
If this sounds like an adventure you'd like to be a part of, we warmly welcome you to our farm. Let's create something amazing together!

Accommodation
Regarding accommodation, you will have your own (or shared) room with a comfortable mattress. However, feel free to enjoy the summer warmth by sleeping in a tent if that suits your preferences.
What else ...
Our farm is in the small village with just a few neighbours and offers relatively quiet environment (consider usual farm noise), surrounded by hills, and it's only a 20-minute drive from the city of Brežice and 45-min drive from the Croatian captital Zagreb. During your free time, you can explore the beautiful nature by hiking or biking, visit rivers or one of the four nearby spas, or indulge in the delights of the famous local wineries.
