  Description

  Hello, I'm Panagis
  I plan on moving on my 1 acre farm in euvoia island permanently.
  
  I grew up on the city, but also ive spent a lot of summers in the farm from a young age.
  
  As i planned on moving to the farm, i saw alot of ideas that was coming up, as to : sustainable living, permaculture, respecting the planet etc.
  The power we use comes from a 220a capacity battery and solar panels.
  The system can support a fridge, some light's and phone charging, laptop usage.
  But thats it.
  No high consumption device's.
  And if its in the winter the capacity is very much lower than what i just described.
  
  I also have some chicken's (18), but will incubate more and grow them free range for eggs and meat.
  Planning to grow also ducks.
  
  I cultivate compost worms ( red wigglers)
  Also ladybugs for organic pest control of the garden.
  Also mealworms for the chickens.
  We also have some snall grape Field and alot of natural herbs growing everywhere.
  
  The main house has 4 bedrooms with one double bed in each one.
  2 of these rooms has also a single bed.
  So the main building can guest at least 8 people.
  Common bathroom ,living room and kitchen.
  The availability of the house will be depending.
  There is not washing machine, but you can wash your clothes on a bucket by hand etc
  
  {There is wifi access
  But please use it mindfully }
  
  *The place has cell service .
  
  A guest house with its own bathroom and a double bed will be available regarding the availability of the house.
  
  
  But there is also the option to have a tent and sleep there if thats what someone would want.
  .
  
  
  So in 2019 i heard about workaway and that i could use this tool for spread of knowledge and learn what i know and what i apply here on the farm.
  Create experiences etc
  Basically i love to socialise and always wanted to create a place that everyone is welcome.
  
  
  
  I have a dog and hes quite a guard dog, his name is fidel he is 26 kg and he is a hunter breed that I adopted.
  He can be quite noisy in the beginning and restrained, but for sure he does get used to everyone that is not afraid of him and get petted by a lot of people that come here.
  
  In the farm some future projects are waste water system for watering the plants
  
  But even if this is not started yet, i would say that I already eliminated every non organic product on the farm.
  For example: soaps for bathing or washing the dishes or the clothes.
  Sun screens, toothpastes, moisturisers..
  So if you cannot bring organic products then consult me first, so i can find a solution for you.
  
  The farm is outside of the village 10 min drive from the beach.
  Or 40min by foot.
  
  There you will find some taverns and a beach bar thats open on summer.
  The area is quite remote but very tranquil and beautiful.
  
  Also some trails to some other beaches that you cant go by car.
  
  Its 1 hour drive from halkida/ chalkida.
