Description
My name is Maarja-Liis and my husband is Paul. We are normally living in Estonia, where we have an organic farm. In winter our farm is under snow and dark. We are both farmers and forages, we do extensive harvesting in the wild of greens, buds, medicinals, berries and mushrooms selling in addition to using ourselves. We don’t have much work in the winter. Paul is from California and I am Estonian. This is third winter in a row we are leaving Estonia to get some sun and also looking for a warmer place to move. We lived in Hawaii and California before. Last winters we were in Georgia and Ecuador, Tanzania and Madagascar. We are in Italy this winter. Our rough plan is to travel till spring..get feel for places in Italy, and maybe find our new home..? :)
We are honest, reliable, hands-on, mature people. We are passionate about foraging, cooking and good food.
Last winter I did my YTT in Ecuador and I have been teaching yoga in a local community since then. Yoga is a blessing in my life. I also guide foraging trips, make soap, herbal medicines and run farmers markets. I am also experience in alternative sustainable building and construction.
Paul has many years of experience as an organic farmer. He works with the nature to grow plants and our farm is loaded with pollinators, birds, wildlife, biodiversity. His farming style is unique, adaptive, abundant and successful. He is good at fixing things and general basic building and repairs.
