  Description

  We are a family of three, Misha, Denis and Gabriel (our child) and we live a bit out of Karlovo town on the slope of Stara planina mountain where we take care after bio vegetable and fruit garden, work handmade stuff from home and enjoy walking around the beautiful mountain area. The region is good for hiking in the mountains, paragliding, rose picking( we are in the Rose Valley) and general tourism.
  
  Our mission is to grow healthy food, have a contract with soil, live in the nature, breathe good air and have a general freedom.
  
  Our homestead is 1700m2 big, we have around 40 fruit trees, 200m2 vegetable garden, big area of greenery, compost, trampoline. We get water from a well and soon plan to put solar panels, so will be almost fully independent.
  
  Our house has 3 bedrooms, big kitchen and living room and big atelier where we make our art. Our neighbors is good to mention as we have a good contact with them and it could be interesting for visitors to see. They are old people in their 70s and 80s, but work hard and manage well their gardens. We often ask them for advises about gardening.

  Aide

  We would be very thankful for any help in the garden and general maintenance of the homestead. All the produce from the garden is for our own family use and we try to grow a good variety of veggies so we can be as independent as possible.
  
  General tasks in the garden will be much appreciated. Depending of the season, there could be weeds cleaning, planting veggies and aftercare, putting straw and mulching, doing compost, lawn mowing etc.
