Description
We, Olga, Slavik and our three children, invite you to help us with the development of our farm and art space 30 km from Almaty, near the town of Talgar. We purchased a 2 hectare plot of land 3 years ago to grow medicinal and decorative herbs for our natural cosmetics production. However, gradually, in addition to herbs, there appeared a camping site, a bathing vat and small areas for recreation. Now we are looking for those who are ready to share the warm season with us and help us to build a guest house, organize a small organic vegetable garden where we can grow vegetables and herbs for us and our guests. In addition, we will be happy to host creative people who are willing to work with us on decorating the property, as well as guests who are interested in cultural and language exchange and would just like to spend time with us and our children, improving their skills in English or Russian.
We have the opportunity to provide you with a place in the guest house, which is not completely finished, but on the second floor there is a comfortable sleeping place for three people. It is also possible to set up your own tent in any convenient place on our territory or use our tent for two guests.
