The experience

We are a animal friendly community engaged with farming, fruit growing and forestry. My agro-partner Leonora, Sara and Alex joined me in 2023. Our animal companions on the farm are cats and dog Art. We are almost in the centre of sLOVEnia, near Litija. We should soon become selfsustaining because we have two springs of water, 12 ha of forest, a lot of healthy fertile land. We have also a big green house.
