Description
We are a small family farm. We have a large vegetable garden and many fruit trees. We have poultry and domestic animals (dogs, cats). All our produces are completely organic and we follow bio organic standards. We provide for the wider family needs. Even in the winter period, we use herbal tea mixtures that are gathered and prepared from the wild. Many edible wild plants bio enrich our diet. We make our own Pear Brandy, jams, syrups, preserves that are sugar and preservative-free,oven dried fruits and vegetables, that all we put away for the winter.We have been accepting volunteers for four years now and have many great experiences to share. Many friendships have been formed from all over the world.

Julia, so where do I start. So much has happened during my six months with you. The time spent working in the various gardens, making Palinka, visits to Lake Balaton, building the tiny home, planting seeds, harvesting, the markets etc. have been really enjoyable.

I have learnt so much from you, it’s been an education. I have to mention the meals… read more

I came to Julia's farm due to the description "chance to go mushrooming" (i had my childhood dream to be a mushroom seller). During my stay we however did not go mushrooming (the season probably had ended by the time I came). So well, no mushroom, but I can say that there are so much more things than mushrooming. I learned some new skills at… read more

I visited Julia and Atilla in extremely low spirits after living in big European cities for the last few months. Their connect with mother earth and food (you will eat unbelievable food) allowed me to reconnect with myself. Only one week - but enough to make me realise what's important in life. All the best guys.

This place is excellent for those wanting to reconnect with nature, for those who are ready to change their habits to discover a healthier and simplier way of living. We really enjoyed meeting Julia's and Attila's friends who are… read more

We had a lovely time with Quentin and Marie. They were able to perform all the tasks we required. Both were very open-minded people and they had a strong willingness to learn. We got along with them both very well and it was nice to learn a little bit of French, too. Both are very intelligent and Marie was particularily well spoken (in English).… read more

I stayed here for two weeks and it was a life transformation. Immerse yourself in a gypsy way of life and swim in the lake. They have a dog named yoda, how cool is that? Very cool. I met many of julia's friends and attended the village people party. Lots of yummy homemade hungarian food.

The work consisted of walking the dog, picking and… read more

I stayed 2 weeks at the Farm in Döröske - and it was great! Julia is cool, funny, intelligent, gregarious and very generous. She knows how to create space for people and welcome them. And she knows how to cook fantastic meals from garden veggies, how to tell stories, how to make a fire, how to improvise and how to enjoy life. A very good life,… read more
