The experience

Come and help out and enjoy!
We are Luka & Natja and we live on a small farm which we would like to bring back to life. We have 2 kids, 3 cats, 1 dog and 20 chickens.

Luka is all about healthy food, DIY projects, bare foot, simple living and high thinking :)
Natja is totally in love with animals, she is amazed by old faith spiritual practices and she has a little collection of carnivorous plants. She loves photography as well.
