    Description

    We are in our 50's, couple, owners of a permacultural orchard. We are located in a charming landscape of hamlets situated at the frontier between Slovakia and Morava. It is picturesque and replenished with fine views. The White Carpatians Nature Reserve protects the original woods on the flanks of Veľká Javorina the tallest mountain of this mountain range. We love to have friends around.

    Welcome to our project. We run workshops and cultural activities there. You can be a part of it. We grow a traditional fruit orchard. We planted over fruit 100 trees and bushes. We have two sheep in the orchard. We often organise activities with volunteers there. If you are ready to participate at the hard work in the country, be our guest. We will share with you our interest in arts, nature, music & good food.
