Description
We are an international, community-based farm project in beautiful southern Albania. We grow our own food and we are not going to sell anything what we are producing.
Our project includes building a permaculture, self-sufficient farm, living close to nature, planting trees (including tropical trees), greenhouses, earthships, clay yurts, bamboo farms, animal care, processing medicinal foods, fermenting and making essential oils, tinctures, salves, etc. We also offer artistic activities (pottery, carving, painting) and much more.

Accommodation
Either on a pitch for your campervan or staying in a separate area with multiple sleeping options (campervan with double bed and small kitchen, bedroom with 2 single beds or many tent options in the forest)
Communal kitchen, bathroom & composting toilets – space for privacy and interaction with the other volunteers.
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. (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.
