The experience

Our organic farm is located in east Slovenia (near Celje) on a beautiful hill. In 2014 our family decided to move from town to the countryside. Since our movement, the farm keeps on growing. We started with cattle breeding.
If you are looking for a quiet place, surrounded by animals, and endless forests and a desire to contribute to organic farming, apply! *Click on learn more for additional information*

Program Details

We have 4ha of pastures, where we graze Highland cattle. On the farm are also laying hens.
On almost 1ha we grow raspberries. The picking season is from the beginning of July, till the end of September- depending on the weather.
We have also a lot of different work every season.

We have a separate residential facility with one big room which is separated on three places (in each place is room for two people), a bathroom and a separated kitchen.
Wi-fi is available.

Rules

We deeply appreciate respect, punctuality, order and cleanliness at all time.
At night we demand peace, because it is a shared dorm and to help us on farm we all need to be rested for the tasks in the morning.
