Descripción
We are an organically growing family community, living in the Lithuanian countryside and practicing sustainable living, natural building, local production, refurbishing, etc.
The farm was established almost a 100 years ago by our elder family members. Now the people who are involved are located in few differnt areas around. Not always meeting everyday. In a nature surrounded area we now do eco hemp farming, some other crops, have few cattles, chicken, small scale gardening, permaculture enthusiasts. The latest project and atention point is a new Education place we are building. This season we started with outdoors kindergarten, planning few camps for kids in the summer. We live with minds, thinking about our decisions, communication and values. Learning and practicing dialogue and action as a solution to problems
Approx. projects and dates of this season:
- setting up the geodome - June
- gardening and childcare, learning with them - May to September
- help/workshops during children camps - end of June-July
- helping on wild Ivan Chai tea(Fireweed) - late June-July
- helping with hemp harvest and produce - July, August, september
OTHER THINGS that we might do together include and are not limited to:
- serious permacultural gardening;
- building glamping site;
- cleaning, cooking, general maintenence around the house;
- some generation of ideas to make things better
- marketing and media creation
To imagine how tasks look like, please see some photos.
Helping on hemp, you will gain advanced knowledge about hemp, its produce like food, CBD, extracts, fiber properties, cultivation and harvesting, preservation, and even world trending in this field etc. so please only serious requests. We are in the field for 7 years, having a good experience, insights and network of people :)
Location.
Our homestead is located in the Moletai region, about 55km from Vilnius, surrounded by forest and fields, many hills and streams, some lakes.
Hygiene.
Have in mind that we shower in the bath house type sauna each saturday and in the pond anytime. There might be summer shower during sunny days. Drinking water is kinda limitless, but still be mindful about energy :) The warm shower is within 100 m from a living place in our new EDU center
Sleeping conditions and food.
Basically we provide either meals or produce and the kitchen for you to cook, some local vegetables and greens. We are friendly, so many times you might be invited to join dinner or lunch, o r a picnic. Accomodation is in our caravan, summer wooden huts or in the tent, wifi available.
Help ethics.
we do not expect professional skills in every field, no stress about it. But we expect respect, willingness to learn and be better each day - take critisism positively and improve, ask questions. We are gentle :)
For fair exchange we ask helpers to help for intensive 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. If the help is more walking, talking and figuring something out or slow and easy, lets go for longer. During rainy days there is less to do, during shiny days we work harder.
We might consider that learing new skill, culture, procedure takes time and people are not very productive (if not destructive) while learning. Though we have no magic - we get what we earn. So we have to reach a midle ground. This is where you might be asked to do some easier bold tasks.
Most important, LET'S TALK :)
We are looking for skillful builders, engineers, businessmen, marketing people or in general skillful helpers as well as enthusiastic and alive :)
*️️️️️for your freetime we give bicycles, windsurfing boards, snorekeling, maybe some archery lessons, blowgun, fireplaces are open for nice evenings. Sometimes we host camps or events, where you might take part as a special guest (usually folks are interested in traveling, intercultural exchange, etc.)
