Details

  • Description

    Description

    We are a family of four. Me, my aunt, and my two daughters (6, 11). I run a small farm, chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigs, rabbits and goats. Also we shelter stray dogs.
    We produce homemade food, such as cheese, meat, jams, etc. Located in Montenegro, near the capital, Podgorica, in a quiet village.
    I am a veterinarian doctor myself, and moving away from the city, to the nature, was the best choice, I ever made.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are a family, that used to travel a lot. We lived in Israel, for many decades, then stayed for 4 years in Ukraine, where we learned the farming skills. Now, we stay in a quiet village near Podgorica, 20min away from Skadar lake, 45 minutes to the sea, where we travel on a weekly basis. You may choose, to explore the surroundings by yourself, or join us in our exploration. Since we are here only for one year, we have yet a lot to see.

  • Help

    Help

    We need help in general everyday farm routine, feeding, cleaning, also walking our shelter dogs. If you are enthusiastic, we can gladly share our knowledge and experience in farming. No prior experience is required. The help is physical, and dirty and the weather is hot in the summer... so the main help is in the early hours, and in the evening.
