The experience

We want to improve life on our small farm, we have sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs. We take care of the animals throughout the year, but we also take care of the garden. The farm requires care for the buildings as well as the fence. During the summer we prepare feed for the livestock, and in the winter we prepare the wood.

Program Details

It takes approximately two and a half hours by bus from Belgrade to Veliko Gradište. I'm waiting for you in Veliko Gradište by car and we still have 20 km to drive to my village Desine.

During the winter I regularly carry out afforestation since I was a forester at one time, but also a ranger.

Activities & Shift

We start the working day around 7:30 or around 8 o'clock in the morning, then we drink tea or coffee (we drink coffee throughout the day), breakfast is around 10 o'clock, lunch around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, dinner around 8 o'clock. I set it to be about 2 days free during the weekend, but it happens that we only work two days during the weekend because we have really many holidays here. That's why some days we might not work for 5 hours, maybe it will be longer, but that's why we'll have more days off. Here we are guided by a traditional way of life,

Rules

I expect the house I rent to be clean. We live as vegans for part of the year, I don't expect anyone to follow these customs, but they can join us or if they want they can eat other food that is available at our place. I consider it very important that we eat together because it strengthens our bonds
