If you want to feel local and slow life in Croatia this is your ideal place. Joseph and Simona are best person to meet in Croatia. Through the work and talk with them, you will see how the life is cycling and end up in loving this place. Also you will be surrounded by lovely animals and they will be your best coworkers. And yeah, food is amazing. Don't miss their homemade pizza it will blow your mind. Thank you for those good memories, see you in 6 years!!

Be prepared to get your hands dirty and emerge into this calming life!! Simona and Josip moved from the city to the countryside and learned everything by themselves. Is so refreshing to see that this couple picture their life and did everything that they could do have a welcoming the farm and farm. They share with you everything that they learned. Any questions, they are more than happy to help you. If you come in the summer you might be un troppo bene un troppo male with the heat but you get used to it and you can chill in the afternoon. Overall a very different/ great experience. Hvala❤️

My time at the farm was very good, I learned a lot about horses and about being healthier, but mainly things about myself, thank you for the advices and the delicious food, the farm is a very calm and quiet place, the work is hard but there is plenty of time to rest. I wish you the best and that you can achieve all your incredible plans for the farm. ❤️

These few weeks at the farm were one of my greatest experiences. Simona and Josip do everything to make their host feel at home. They are kind, caring, we eat well and we laugh a lot. The work is not that complicated and the working hours vary greatly from day to day. I will remember these countless hours spent outside, these sunsets, the galloping horses, Viki their daughter, the pizzas cooked by Josip (the best pizzas in the world), the hike on the Biokovo mountain with Simona... simple moments and always in joy. There are thousands of reasons for me to come back to see you. HVALA !!!
