    We are a community of 3 residents and some temporary summer visitors. We prepare a living area in the forrest far from other small towns or neighbors.
    We own a 11 hectares (110.000 m2) land with a small adobe house 🏠 at the side of a natural reserve area in Nograd County.

    The building projects are from local organic materials or from recycled material, aligned with the surrounding.

    The permaculture garden is our main food source and our shared meals are predominantly vegetarian. - help needed in the garden constantly.

    We have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 4 goats and a lot of place to relax and enjoy nature. - we feed them twice a day (sommer times we go out with the goats morning and evening) - its possible to help with them too.

    At the moment is the main project is to renovate the house. We need help with constantly:
    - cleaning, washing the dishes, cooking
    - walking with the goats
    - collecting and chopping wood
    - renovating (painting walls and clay work)
    ....

    There is so much to do.....i don't bother you with the details :) but from cooking to social media posts, trough cutting the grass and collecting herbs and fire wood.....any type could find something to enjoy....and of course art. You can paint or decorate as much as you like. There is an ongoing painting and plastering clay all through the summer....

    We provide cold breakfasts and cooked food twice a day for helpers. Food and shelter included for work exchange. We offer vegan and vegetarian food. We dont serve meet but do not have a problem if someone eats it.
