Apraksts
We offer a summer agri/cultural volunteering project on the organic farm in Jurovski Dol, Slovenia for THREE VOLUNTEERS. At our farm, we combine farming with youth work, arts, and social engagement. The main activities of the volunteering project will mostly consist of taking care for the farm through the warm season. While with us, you will deal with traditional meadow orchard, lavender field, vineyard, and a small garden. Besides that, you will meet our animals, hens, ducks, mini sheep, and you will be introduced into their daily care. During your stay, you will also be responsible for the Library under the Treetops, opened to the public four days a week. If you want a good, practical and communicative introduction to organic farming, agroecology and eco-activism in global perspective, with practical introduction to fruit growing, herbs, wine making and basic gardening: you’re in the right place!
