  Description

  Our project is about slowly regenerating an old farm and moving towards an auto sustainable lifestyle. We grow food, preserve it, learn about herbs and try to relearn ancient knowledge that respects nature and natural rhythms. This place is also becoming a safe and joyful playground for our child.
  
  Help welcome:
  Tasks vary depending on the season, weather and your skills, and may include:
  • feeding our animals
  • Helping in the vegetable garden
  • Planting trees and crops
  • Cleaning and maintaining the property
  • Making firewood
  
  Because we are a young family with limited time, we especially appreciate volunteers who already have some experience working on the land or and feel confident taking initiative with tasks. This helps the days flow more smoothly for everyone.
  
  Accommodation
  Volunteers stay in a studio on the upper floor of our house with:
  • bed
  • Bathroom
  • Kitchen and dining area
  
  We welcome respectful, motivated people who enjoy hands-on work, value cultural exchange and feel inspired by sustainable living and nature-based projects.
