Description
We are a young family creating our permaculture homestead and ecovillage in the same time.
We are located in the picturesque Gauja National Park with beautiful nature trails nearby. Therefore our homestead is surrounded by nature and peacefulness. However, two vibrant and cozy cities (valmiera and Cesis) are just 15 kilometers away, giving us the perfect balance of city-country life.
We are offering a one or two-week stay in June for those interested in witnessing the creation of a family homestead (kin's domain) in a settlement of similar homesteads. The weeks in June will finish with the Midsummers celebration on 22nd June. It is optional to take part in these events, but might be interesting for Workawayers with special interest in culture exchange.
We stand for family values, permaculture and homesteading.
We also try to tell about our experience through social media, so be open to having occasional camera and selfies around.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We will be happy to show and explain the permaculture methods used at our place (sun trap garden, crater garden, storing of hay, scything, composting, raised plant-beds, greenhouse, branch fence, wood post carousel etc.).
We can teach the principles of how to design and plan your own homestead. As well as help with first sketches.
We will be happy to discuss the importance of concepts that we are materializing: kin's domains, family values, homestead settlement, fitness, true sustainability etc.
Workawayer will be integrated in our daily life with all the benefits according to weather (visiting of lake, trips to city), therefore good fit with children is necessary.
