    Hello do you want to experince real farm life in the village 🥬🥦💫🌞🌍

    we are 4 generation family living on the organic farm on the top of the hill of 650m above sea level.
    On our farm we grow organic vegetables, animals and we love to have good time between all the work.🥳🌸

    We need help with fields, weeding, harvesting.
    Work is from 9 to 11.30h then we have 30 min break. And from 12h to 14.30h.
    In hot summer we adapt working hours and we start earlier, so we are not outside in the sun.

    After that we have lunch together which Metka usually cooks.

    After lunch you enjoy your day and do whatever you like: hiking in the amazing nature or read a book or mingle with other people and volunteers on the farm. Slovenia is so beautiful. And the nature which is around us is so beautiful and you have a lot of places to discover. Dig in and research what you want to see, speak with people who are staying here and where have they been and also family.

    If you want to experienece real farm life, to understand circle of life, where the food comes from, how to live in season, how to plan and harvest organic veggies, if you want to use organic veggie and cook with them, here is your chance.

    And last thing, dont ever miss a sunset here in the village. Its amazing 🌞😁🌍

    So if you are ready to discover a new way of life and make something for yourself, do write us and let start the conversation.

    See you soon
