The experience

Our project is the restoration of eroded land which was once a thriving orchard in this area. The mountainous terraced land is now close to total extinction as only 0.01% survives. This is a last moment effort to keep this very rich and beautiful area on earth. As part of our restoration effort, we are also working on farming & water conservation keeping in view the permaculture guidelines. No skills are required, just a willingness to help!

Program Details

We are working on the land since August 2021 and it is just a small step towards creating a community for people all around the globe to come together and re-learn to live sustainably. We are fully committed to accepting everyone that wishes to stay and help us recreate the land into a permaculture farm.


Activities & Shift

Participants are expected to mainly plant, mulch, and water trees during the planting season, work on water conservation in the land and, maintain the area.

If you are an experienced permaculturist we would love to learn and work with you.


Rules

Please contact us for more details to make sure you have updated information about the ongoing work.

Participating members should not use drugs, or drink alcohol, inside or outside the farm, during their entire stay. This helps us stay aware of our behaviour, and maintains our personal peace, health and safety.
