    Description

    Hi Volunteers!

    We are a couple who run a small organic farm with milking goats on the slopes of Mecsek mountains ca. 10 minitutes walk from the citycenter of Pecs.
    I am a sculptor and the farm is also my workplace.

    We have around 25 goats. Most of our time it s dedicated to the goats and their enviroment: from taking care of them, feed them to the last step of cheesemaking .
    We started our farm in 2012 and we are following the concept of permaculture in our garden, where we grow vegetables and herbs.

    If you are interested and maybe you already have some experience in goat farming, gardening or cheesemaking, you are welcome in our farm.
    Hope to hear from you! :)
