    UPDATE: Until March we can only host
    Volunteers with Campervans!

    We are an international, community-based farm project in beautiful southern Albania.

    The Farm was founded in 2025 "from scratch," starting with a lot of mud and all the challenges that come with it. We are still in the beginnings of the project and we're moving in the pace of nature and the elements.

    Our vision is to build a permaculture, self-sufficient farm through natural living, tree planting (including tropical trees), greenhouses, Earthships, clay yurts, bamboo farms, electroculture experiments, irrigation canal systems, hydrotech, natural pools, waterfalls, animal care, processing of medicinal foods, fermentation, and the production of essential oils, tinctures, salves, etc. It also includes artistic activities (pottery, carving, painting), and much more.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We live off-grid; the farm is accessible via an 11km gravel road, which is in poor condition in places but still passable with any car up to 8 meters long. (Drive carefully and slowly if your car is low to the ground.)

    The farm is located on a mountain, and our access road is also very rough. During and shortly after rain, it's only passable with four-wheel drive; otherwise, you can also get up there with a campervan. (I have an old Mercedes 207, which still manages quite well.)

    If you're backpacking, we'd be happy to pick you up in the nearest village.

    We can provide you with working clothes and gloves to keep you safe and your private clothes clean!
