EDIBLE FOREST AND SIMPLE LIFE
Pospolitost pre harmonicky zivot
Pliesovce, Slovaquie
Description
Ekokomunita Sekier, a small permaculture farm within Zaježová, is a project run by Pospolitost pre Harmonicky Zivot NGO. It provides a space for young people to experience farm work, sustainable and community living. The farm hosts 5-10 residents, guests and ESC volunteers at a time, offering hands-on learning experiences in permaculture, natural building, crafts, and self-sufficiency. With a permaculture garden and a herd of goats and sheep, the farm produces a variety of dairy products and remains self-sufficient in vegetables year-round. You will learn about food forest, gardening, animal care, milking goats, how to bake bread and make cheese. You will also learn a lot about community life. Apart from that, you will be involved our ongoing project, learning how to work with wood, straw and clay, using hand and power tools, working both on the Sekier farm as well as in other places of the local eco village community cooperating with locals.
Modalités d'hébergement, de restauration et de transport
Sekier farm house is a 150 years old stone building which was some 20 years ago renovated with clay plaster, wooden floors and wood-fired stoves. The kitchen and bathroom have running water from our nearby well. The bath room has a wood fired shower, the toilets are composting long drops outside. Inspite of trying to get back to the basics, Sekier is equipped with modern devices that we just consider very helpful - a library with internet, a laundry machine... The closest bus stops are about 30 mins walking distance from Sekier.
