  Description

  We are a family of three: Krisztian (35), Julia (34) and little Levi ( 1 ). We are obsessed with nature, gardening, alternative ways of living, arts, specially music ( creating and listening as well... all kinds, from electronic through piano music to bird singing ). We also love to travel, we spent a few years traveling around Europe before and after we met each other, now with the little one.
  
  Our place is on a wine hill and it's totally melted together with the huge forests behind. The land is 1.5 hectares big, mostly forest, quite diverse one mixed with fruit and nut trees. A smaller part is a fruit orchard with old fruit trees and newly planted ones. This part we turn slowly into a forest garden.
  
  There are also lots of animals, seeing squirrels running around on the branches of trees is a normal, almost everyday thing. The bird music goes on all day long and at night after the last songs of the birds the bats take over and fly around quietly. While walking to the back of the garden you can see messy clear spots without grass, hm a boar was digging here looking for food... The dear deer also visits the garden sometimes. We met with a lot of deers and boars so we got kind of used to each other :)

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  You can experience a slower, more simple and quiet life closer to nature without the noise of the outside world. You can learn about gardening and preserving, seed saving, harvesting rainwater, and how to build with very low budget. We can show you edible wild plants and we can find and identify new ones as well. If you are into music, arts and we are on a similar wavelength we can create music. Krisztian has also a lot of knowledge about and experience with dreams, also lucid dreams so he can give tips in that if you are interested.

  Aide

  We are happy if people help us in these projects:
  
  - Creating a space for volunteers to chill and create a summer kitchen. Generally we would like to create a space where volunteers and us could gather outside, so to have a nice spot for socialising, spend the evenings, make the food. At the moment it's all in and around our house which is a very tiny space for more people.
  - Gardening.
  - Plant trees.
  - Harvest and preserve fruits, veggies, mushrooms.
  - Creating with clay, sand and straw. Creating mosaic.
  
  Collecting, cutting, chopping firewood for Winter is a never ending project, you are also welcome to help with that if you feel like.
  
  We are really interested in the idea of a forest garden and permaculture, guerilla gardening and growing mushrooms. The garden is quite experimental but in the same time we also like to grow a decent amount of food so there is also some basic care needed ( watering, mulching etc. ).
  
  We would also like to have the garden and land to be a playground for our creativity so art, land art initiatives are welcome.
  
  We may be interested also in babysitting if the vibe of Levi and the volunteer matches :)
  
  Other stuff:
  - We are happy if volunteers like to cook then we can take turns with cooking and washing dishes. If you are really not into cooking then you can help more to keep the space clean.
  
  - We don't have a schedule, we tried without success :) So we just meet up in the mornings in an agreed time and see what's next :) Only thing we expect is that you show up at that time otherwise we don't stress much about the time once we are so to say settled for the day and everyone knows what they feel like doing.
  
  If you are a person who needs rigid schedules and all your days organised this may not be a place for you.

  Hébergement

  There is a house with beds, mattresses where you can sleep. In that house there is no electricity so take a torch and be ready to spend your evenings with candle light. In the cold months you need to make a fire in the woodstove if you want to keep the room warm. In the warm months if you prefer the forest with a tent that's also possible.
  
  Conditions are a bit basic yet, which means for example: the toilet is a compost toilet. There is an outside shower which is quite nice when the weather is warm :) It is very basic: a bucket of water and a jug. Usually it is usable from end of March/ April, until than it is heating up water in pots and figuring out your way of showering.
  
  We don't have a washing machine so washing clothes is only possible with hands.
  
  We don't have wifi and you need to provide your own internet data, the cover is not the best here. Washing clothes or having a shower might be slower than usual.
  
  For the shower please take organic soap because the water goes back to the soil directly and we don't want to have chemicals in the soil. Thank you!

  Autres infos...

  We eat mostly vegetarian, sometimes some meat. The food is simple but wholesome and most of the volunteers are very happy with it. You can learn how to prepare things from scratch rather than buying them, like bread, yoghurt, sauerkraut, kombucha, wine etc. Our goal is to limit shopping to the minimum and enjoy lots of fresh stuff from the garden. If however you have very different needs, we will try to sort it out:)
  
  We like to have random parties, fire gatherings here in Summer.
  We like to spend time together on work and leisure, but of course everybody needs some private time and we would like to ask you to respect that and be ready to spend some time alone or with other volunteers (often evenings after having dinner together). We are very chill-out and flexible folks and don't like to mentor anybody, but we like to have clear communication about everybody‘s needs and likes. So please tell us if you feel uncomfortable with anything:)
  
  Please only write if you are serious about your stay and would really like to get involved!
  
  Things to see: Nature is amazing around here, the area is perfect for hiking. There are three castles very close and on the hill a Buddhist Stupa with a meditation hall only one hour away by foot. The lake Balaton is only 25-30 kilometers away, it's easily reachable by bus or hitchhiking. There are also very nice markets nearby! One of them is a kind of messy, trashy gypsy market with all kinds of things. Another one is very mixed, there are creative things, bakery stuff, organic food, soap, antique stuff etc.
  
  Krisztian has lots of instruments as well if you want to play: kalimba, guitar, bass guitar, didgeridoo, mouth harp, midi controller for electronic stuff.
