Create a harmonious and self-sustainable farm in "Smartno pri Litiji, Slovenia"

  Descripción

  We are the owners of a beautiful secluded renovated farm that offers you plenty of peace, fresh air, water from our own spring, organically grown home-grown vegetables and fruits. At the request of my sons, we almost have a small ZOO of domestic animals. We have rabbits (who run around freely), goats, chickens, ducks, cats and a dog.
  
  In the future, we want to arrange and rejuvenate the orchard, where our animals will live freely. Our desire is to restore one larger and one smaller facility that would offer accommodation for smaller groups of people or children.
  Our ultimate vision for this place is to create a harmonious and self-sustainable farm where we can host various events such as spiritual and gardening workshops, fasting retreats, retreats for teachers and parents, art camps, camps for kids and teens etc..
  
  We often organize camps for children on our lawn, as I myself have been running a Montessori kindergarten in Ljubljana for 18 years.
  
  Our main focus at the moment is on organic farming, where we grow a variety of vegetables, fruits, and herbs. However, with business in Ljubljana, we could really use some extra hands to help us with gardening tasks such as planting, composting, digging holes, grass cutting, removing weeds, fruit drying, and picking plants. Additionally, assistance with housecleaning, kitchen duties, and various renovation and construction tasks would be greatly appreciated.
  
  My eight-year-old son wants to build a bigger chicken coop for his chickens so they can run freely in the meadow without the risk of being eaten by a predator for lunch. He has an idea to set up his first business project and buy 20 more hens and sell the eggs in Ljubljana.
  
  We are very creative. Recycling and reuse are close to us. We create with wood, clay, fabric.
  
  We have a piano in the house. Both children love music, play piano and saxophone. My oldest daughter studies dance abroad and visits us occasionally.
  
  Our farm is isolated at an altitude of almost 500 meters above sea level, there is no public transport. We are surrounded by forest and have a wonderful view of the neighboring hills.
  
  We love spending time in nature, hiking and traveling around.
  
  We have a small apartment in Ljubljana, where you can stay from time to time.
