  Description

  Greetings,
  
  We are Irakli (34) and Sali (28), young farmers living in an 100+ old house in the western part of Georgia. Our family consists of us two, three friendly dogs and one lovely cat.
  
  In 2020, during the pandemics, we left our city life and moved to live to the village. During these years we were learning and exploring different opportunities in the agricultural field and finally in 2023 we started the first CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) project in Georgia, delivering fresh vegetables to more than 60 families to their doorstep.
  
  We have one employee and one volunteer working on our farm on a daily basis.
  
  Our work mostly consists of taking care of vegetables and herbs, preparing and clearing land plots, different DIY Projects and working around the house.
  
  We usually forage herbs, mushrooms and different types of wild species for cooking and preserving purposes.
  
  Our fields of operations are divided into several parts:
  - Our House Garden, with the total of 1000 sq.m. aerable land and 125 sq.m. greenhouse, usually used as a nursery.
  - Our Main Field is 15 Hectares, which includes aerable land, forest, a lake and a river bank.
  
  As not being professional gardeners, we are searching for ways to explore and to share experiences. We would love to host people who love to have their hands dirty in the soil, enjoy working outside in the nature and enjoy the village life.
  
  There are always tasks to be completed in our small farm and good helping hands would be a great addition to us and our society.
