blueberry farm

We are a animal friendly community engaged with farming, fruit growing and forestry.

Besides me Leonora is my agro-partner who leads permaculture farming. We are almost in the centre of sLOVEnia, near Litija. We hope to become self-sustaining because we have two springs of water, 12 ha of forest, a lot of healthy fertile land and also a big green house.

I'm still working in Ljubljana between Monday and Thursday when you may join me on the afternoon for the ride from Ljubljana to the farm. Usually around 5pm from Litostrojska 59 in Ljubljana or in Litija train station about 40’ later. Independently from Ljubljana you may take a train to Litija and (only on a workdays catch a bus (or hitchhike) to Cerovica (direction Gabrovka) at 12.23, 14.28, 15.38 and 17.18. From Cerovica you continue 300m and walk uphill for 2km or hitchhike what is easy.

Activities include cleaning, facility maintenance, minor repairs, especially in the summer, forest cleaning and firewood harvesting, from March to December, help in the fields and in the winter garden, from April to September, grass cutting and harvesting, in June we pick Siberian blueberries, in the summer we pick pears, and in the fall we pick apples. In November, we usually prune the blueberry orchard.

We may provide you, mostly private, accommodation and plant based food for three meals a day and expect from you to participate in the help up to 5hours a day, 5 days a week, from breakfast to the lunch. It is expected that your rest days are between Monday and Thursday.

LONG TERM OR PERMANENT COHABITATION IS ALSO AVAILABLE as well as the possibility of taking over the farm in a few years.

So far i traveled over150 countries, 88 on a bicycle, run 10 marathons and hosted more than 1200 guests in Ljubljana and on the farm.

I speak Croatian, English, Italian, Spanish and a bit of French, German, Portuguese and Bahasa.
