    Description

    🌿 Welcome to our Farm in the Heart of Slovenia

    We are a small, animal-friendly community dedicated to farming, fruit growing, and forestry, located near Litija, almost in the very centre of Slovenia.

    Together with my agro-partner Leonora, who leads our permaculture farming, we are creating a sustainable and harmonious way of living. Our goal is to become self-sufficient, supported by two natural water springs, 12 hectares of forest, fertile land, and a large greenhouse.

    You can spend your free time walking, picking mushrooms ,chestnut’s or berries, lounging in a pavilion or hammock, or going on longer walks. medieval castle and a forest botanical garden.

    We provide: private accommodation, three plant-based meals per day and a peaceful natural environment
    In exchange, we ask for:up to 5 hours of help per day 5 days per week
    Rest days are usually between Monday and Thursday.

    There is also a possibility for long-term stay or even permanent cohabitation, including the opportunity to take over the farm in the future.

    When to Join
    The most convenient arrival day is Thursday, when you can join me for a ride from Ljubljana to the farm in the afternoon.

    How to Get Here
    From Ljubljana you can join me on Thursday for a direct ride to the farm.

    Alternatively with a train to Litija and from Litija train station (on weekdays), take a bus or hitchhike to Cerovica (direction Gabrovka) at:
    • 12:23 • 14:28 • 15:38 or • 17:18
    From Cerovica:you may walk 200 m in direction of bus and then 2 km uphill (or hitchhike — it’s easy) or we can help arrange transport.

    About Me
    I work with addicts and their families. have traveled to 155 countries (90 by bicycle), run 10 marathons, and hosted more than 1200 guests in Ljubljana and on the farm.
    I speak: Croatian, English, Italian, Spanish, and some French, German, Portuguese, and Bahasa.
