This farm perfectly fits for those who love nature and wants to experiment what is living far from the city but not very far for a small village, on a local farm, into the hills, in a secluded place with a sustainable living vision. We are passionate about nature, in the process of creating a sustainable living space by utilizing traditional cultivation techniques, protecting the trees that surrounds us and helping nature to regenerate itself.
We leave for few months year off-grid in the land that we will take care and try to grow, anything that we can plant, and we will take care of the olive tree and the vineyard and fruit tree that are already there.
We stay in tents most of the time during these few months to be able to establish a really contact with the nature.
We try to use most of the natural material, when possible, found around the farm for the build of what is necessary.
The season start with the cleaning of the land from grass and bad weed and collection of wood for the fire in the evening.
Then we will go to the grape harvesting to make wine and just after that the olive picking to make olive oil.
We do everything in the traditional way, when is possible :), without use of big machine.
Spotlight of the place: watching the sunrise from the seaside and sunset above the mountains, look at the stars with no light pollution.
The nearest village is at 20min walk distance and the sea side is at 35min walk distance, small river at 40min walk distance.
At moment we are on a quest for different personalities and skills:
1) We are looking for volunteers to make this place more amazing in 2020.
2) Long term stays are preferable. But it is open for discussion, convince us 😊. It worked already several time 😊. Teach us about your skills and we will certainly consider your proposal. We love to learn.
