  Description

  Hello! We are a small family, currently living a simple life in nature on a small farm in Crete. If you enjoy simple living in a quiet, peaceful environment then this place is for you! Ari is 10 and is very creative and loves being part in team work, Manoli is a nature lover with green fingers and Serena is focused on self awareness and meditation.
  Currently we are in need of people for handy-work in restoring a run-down caravan. Other help we need is with planting, harvesting, general garden help, join us in the cooking process and learn to make traditional Cretan dishes, maintenance and creation of beautiful spaces using natural materials. This natural, diverse farm has a wide variety of edible plants, chickens, a pond that is under construction and a fenced area for free-roaming happy rabbits!

  If you are looking for an environment to slow down, appreciate the simple things in life, learn about natural farming, composting with earthworms, learn to make traditional Cretan meals or are more meditative then you will feel good here. We are located 10 minutes by car from beautiful beaches also so we take daily trips to the beach.
