Description
Hello! We are Ágota (30), Csongi (38) and Misi (born in July 2023), from Hungary.
We spent the last 4 years on our homestead:
˙ renovated our 150 years old cob house, built a side-building with only natural and reclaimed materials
˙ raised animals for meat (rabbit, chicken, ducks, pig)
˙ foraged for wild plants and mushrooms
˙ preserved crops, baked sourdough goods
˙ built furnaces, rocket mass heaters and wood-fired stoves
˙ learned various handcrafts (felting, spinning yarn, tablet weaving, sewing and crochet)
˙ we were also Workaway hosts, read our reviews here: workaway.info/en/host/115128187124

Now we feel ready to hit the road again to share these skills and experiences with others, learn new things and explore.

I would like to thank Arne, Renate, Heinz, Kathrin and Gabi for this life-changing 2 weeks in March. I learned and experienced so many things not only about farm life, but life in general. Their hospitality, cheerfulness and flexibility was outstanding for me.
Cooking for them everyday, which they were so grateful about and it made me so happy,… read more

I had such a great time with Martin, Manu, Lena and Prinzo. This 1.5 week in April was full of care, joy, sunshine and relaxation.
Before going to their place I had a small hiking accident, my body was in pain, so I couldn't do much physical work. I mostly cooked for them (lots of gratefulness received), played and cuddled with the animals,… read more

Ágota stayed here in middle of June ( sorry for the delayed feedback, it happens all the time :D ). It was that time of year when with some friends we make a festival at a lake here to celebrate the summer solstice. So most of the work happened over there, she did a very good job cooking, preparing, washing dishes for many people. After the… read more

In mid June, I've stayed with Krisz for a week or so. At that time in Bazsi, there was a -kind of- private festival for the Summer solstice (started by a group of friends, 5 years ago, since then growing and evolving every year), so the help was needed mostly there, to prepare, organize, cook, wash dishes, etc. for ~50people. It was a one in a… read more

Side-building we’ve built completely from ground up. Our outdoor shower :) anotjer bath tub is a raised bed. Pool for mixing adobe.

A big favorite, chicken of the woods

A cupboard that Agota painted

Roof tiles in adobe as flooring in our kitchen, done by us. The wood fired stove we use to cook and bake from autumn till spring.

Our living room, Csongi built the rocket mass heater, the flooring we did together.

I was lucky enough to spend two weeks with this incredible and loving family, in early October. They were the first experience of Slovenia for me, and what an entrance!
Each of them are fun, caring, helpful and have gigantic wisdom about building, plants, animals and humans. They treated me like I was a family member, we had almost all meals… read more

Two words, which are enough for everything : wow, and thank you!
I've had the pleasure and the honor, to live, laugh and learn at Dave's farm for a month (October-November), with my ex-partner. Then 13 people came together, we were living as a community, or more like a family! Caring, loving, sometimes eventful, sometimes chill days, depending our… read more

Beautiful person, bright soul. Calm yet cleverly observing, connecting with the everything-around. We haven't spend much time together due to a change in life-time-time-line-events. Things happen just the way they're supposed to - meeting people who see and feel likewise is such a universal blessing. I'm not gonna write something about skills or… read more

I got the opportunity to stay with Ro, Jo and another volunteer for 4 days. They are warm-hearted and passionate people with the cutest animals, surrounded by a beautiful environment. We did some clay works together, it was so much fun. Having dinner at the campfire, under the Moon was an unforgettable experience.
Much love to you!
