Description
MEET OUR FAMILY
My husband and I, and our daughter from 7 years old run this homestead with heart and soul. Also, contact with our neighbors in this small village is important for us. Building a self-sustainable and spiritual health farm in Moricgat Hungary is our main goal. We are an artistic family, and love creativity! Everything in and around our house we make with up-cycled materials. Being independent is one of our greatest goals. So freedom is our main "word", that's why we constantly think out of the box and reinvent our lives.
My background as a homeopath = wellness health coach gives me the possibility to help people through their personal but also business goals. I work online as a clairvoyance, especially at night (between 18-2). This means that we are not the type of farmer that comes out of bed at 7 in the morning. The motivation to choose this life is based on the belief that nature is our best friend and our only spiritual path in life! Spirituality and natural healing are a big part of our inner motivation to do this.
Our farm is full of animals (goats, pigs, chickens, cats, dogs, rabbits, cheep, pigeons...) There is a big green garden where we grow herbs and young trees. We are working with natural fertilizer, natural pests, and secret knowledge! We love wild picking from herbs, fruits, nuts, and wood for winter.
We breed border collies and Mini-collies (ask us for the link ) and train them on our farm. They are a part of our daily routine. Regularly we walk with our dogs through the forest. We have 20 dogs at our place who live together with us in front of the house/partly in the house. On a regular basis, we have a litter of puppies running in and around the house that needs loads of love.
We also have 20 goats and sheep that live on our farm 3 minutes from us. If they have kids we need to milk them every day and use the milk for chees, yogurt, Kefir, and other things.
We have a crossbreed pigpen, where we keep Vietnamese/Mangalica pigs. We try to make a constant cycle between animals and nature and try to feed our animals as naturally as possible and avoid too much-buying food or using preservatives. We learned in the past year's techniques to be more self-sustainable on a small plot of land.
BEE FREE
Another farm 3 minutes from ours, has a plot of 1.3 hectares where we need to clean up, plant trees, and renovate the house. Renovate the stables, and place fences for goats and sheep.
GAIA GARDEN
12 minutes from us, we have a new project of 3000 square meters, fruit garden. With loads of trees and fruit bushes. Here there is electricity and water. This place needs daily maintenance and in summer we need extra hands for harvesting. We are in search of people who have experience with permaculture or fruit trees. From all the harvest here, we make biodynamic wine. This is a whole process from riping and recanning, mostly this is from June till October. If you want to go in winemaking you could learn a lot in this period. From the waist of the wine, we make a well-known drink that is called Palinka. We are not alcohol drinkers, we use this harvest as an exchange source or as base of the tinctures we sell on our site (ask us for the link)
PROCEDURE
We all have MCS (multiple chemical disorder) you are not allowed to use perfumes, deodorants, shampoos, mosquito spray. You can smoke outside the farm! We avoid ALL CHEMICALS on our farm. There will be soap, shampoo, and natural products on the farm you could use instead. We take this very seriously living with this condition is life-threatening.
If you want to know what's in for you?
We can teach you everything you like to know about Dharma (life/lifepath). There can be a lot of knowledge exchange about getting a chemical-free life for yourself/self-sustainable life!
Do you want to learn about getting healthy, about good food, about finding freedom, about unschooling, free birthing, raising your kids in a free way, about herbs, homeopathy, natural antibiotics and so much more?
If that is not what you are searching for, you could just find your own bliss in connection with nature. We do canning from food, also we do a lot of preparing and preserving food. Using all kinds of techniques, we also dry food and even make distilled water, our own vinegar, wine, Palinka even etheric oils.
We are since 2021 on the carnivore diet, we provide you with the food you need, you need to cook for yourself.
