Description
Hello, we are a Georgian-German family, Giorgi from Georgia, Linda from Germany and our son Noah (born in 2016). we are living in the Summer house close to the capital Tbilisi (45km). Since many years Giorgi´s family is growing natural Vegetables on the small farm we want to save this organic agriculture in this world full of genmodified food. Linda is passionate about permaculture and slowly implementing smal elements of it in the garden :) The place is in a beautiful setting, next to the forest, close to Bazaleti lake , around 1000m above sea level and with amazing views of the Caucasus mountain region. We have lots of ideas and the place has a great potential. We want to plant more trees, grow more food, we would like to clean up the forest in the surrounding which is full of trash, build some stone oven, are interested in self-sustainable construction and maybe even create a place for children to be outside in the forest & nature to grow up in a natural way. buuut we are at the very beginning of this project :) We welcome any input, ideas, experience!
We will have a Bar right next to the Lake this year, so we will also need volunteers who will stay there. There will be Stand up Paddles and boats to rent. It is a wonderful place to spend the summer, go for a swim and enjoy life!
