    Descrição

    Dear Visitor,

    I have been hosting since 2017 on the ranch I have been running since 2014. I update the volunteer pages around once every new year.

    Today we are a community of organic ranchers and craftspeople in the praeries of Central Europe and are quite apt at self-sustaining without outside help. We occasionally also go volunteering to other places apart from or as a part of our professional life in ranching and crafting business.

    If you wish to become a part of our community for a longer or shorter period of time we are continuing to be open. I am looking for independent people seeking refuge and joy in the environment created by human labour thoughout more than ten years. They must be able to self-sustain themselves, comfortable left to their own resources and take pride in contributing to the greater project. I am personally not able to entertain visitors on a day-to-day basis, however there is space, bed, bath basin, candles for lighting and wood-fire stove for cooking and heating in the winter. There’s a pantry and little space in the freezer for storing your food, but no refrigerator. There’s also electricity available for charging your devices and tools to use for projects around the farm.

    In the summer the sun rises around 4am, with siesta time at possibly even 35-40C degrees between 10am and 4pm, and the sun sets around 10pm. There is very little rain or humidity.
    In the winter the sun rises around 7am and sets around 4pm. We are currently having super warm winters around zero celsius degrees. It still can fall back to around -7C, very occasionally -15C. There can generally be very deep mud especially since the property resides in an Ice Age marsh in an indigineous habitat.

    Throughout the years we had experimented with many forms of gardening beside animal husbandry. We experimented with many vegetables, onions and planted many fruit trees. Many of the fruit trees failed to thrive - and in this case we learned that there are foreign species, that are not fit for this environment. Today we have most only indigenous herbs beside the fruit trees and the occasional small garden patch with whatever vegetable anyone is inspired to grow.

    All animals graze on the Ice Age fields. Having experimented with most all indiginous races we currently thrive on 15-20 Hungarian Grey Cattle herding them off Kunfakó horseback. This is breed of horse had been recently recognized in November 2025 as experimental reconstruction of the Hungarian Plains horse being fit for extensive keeping, longriding, herding, general daily work and commute. The five horses on the ranch work in herding and longriding but are also being trained for towing. Three of them are Kunfakó, one of them is a Konik stallion, another an Akhal Teke gelding.

    Other animals include donkey, mangalica pig, racka sheep, Hungarian poultry and two peacocks. The sheep may be temporarily removed because of fence renovation.

    On the marsh property there are also a few small ponds, where we have reintroduced aboriginal fish and vegetation.

    General basic reoccuring tasks on the farm:

    - General housekeeping, cleaning, weeding
    - Chopping and organising firewood
    - Whitewashing wooden fences and fenceposts
    - Limewashing the house wall with blue oxide
    - Watering flowers and herbs
    - Animal care only in the case of long term farm sitting

    I am open to professionals wishing to contribute to the project as well to the enjoyment and respect to the environment.

    It is possible to read more on the website, also refreshed sometime every winter season:/

    Languages spoken include: Hungarian, English, French, German

    For people considering staying long term learning Hungarian should be a base.

    With kind regards,
    Nóra

    Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    Travellers will learn the dynamics of a homestead with a large grazing area and of a bigger animal populace. Learn how large herds of animals move, or get to know both smaller and larger animals' behaviour.
    They will also experience the beginning of a new life of a farm building, that had been derelict for a couple decades but otherwise has the skelleton of around 250 years made out of organic material. They can understand the difficulties and benefits of what such a building has to offer in renovation and living.
    I also strive to live as off-grid as possible, which is in process, and which process is exciting in itself as well.
