The Experience

Come and help out on our homestead and enjoy! We are Luka & Natja and we live on a small farm which we would like to bring back to life. We have 2 kids, 3 cats, 1 dog and 20 chickens. Luka is all about healthy food, DIY projects, bare foot, simple living and high thinking :) Natja is totally in love with animals, she is amazed by old faith spiritual practices and she has a little collection of carnivorous plants. She loves photography as well.

Had a great time with Luka and Natja on the farm. There was always a variety of tasks to do if you wanted to change what you were doing or became tired. Luka was very good with sharing information about everything that needed to be done and why and I loved learning about the process of the farm and the plans for the future. 5 hours work, 3 meals, caravan to sleep in and bike access! Thanks again Luka and Natja!

Thanks again Harry, it was a real pleasure hosting you 🙏 no work was to hard for you and I’m really happy if I managed to pass on some knowledge that I learned through the process of establishing our homestead. I really hope we meet again.
We wish you all well and thanks again for all of your help. You nailed it 💪

It was a fantastic experience where I was able to learn so much. It was wonderful to see how my body gradually adapted to the calm and the natural surroundings of the place. The family was amazing and incredibly welcoming, and the food was plentiful and delicious. It was one of the best experiences of my life.

Luca and his family made me feel like I was at home during my stay in Slovenia. I met many wonderful people from around the world and was immersed in local culture. I highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking personal growth and development or to connect with nature. Very grateful for this experience and I wish them all the best.

My first volunteering experience was in Slovenia, specifically in a small, beautiful mountainous region with wonderful local people who are incredibly kind and welcoming. My time volunteering in Limbus with Mr. Luka and his wife Natja was a fantastic experience. I helped them with their project, and they helped me a great deal in return. I benefited greatly from his energy and enthusiasm; he was always generous with his time and resources. Everything I needed was provided, and he was flexible, appreciative, and respectful. His wife, Natja, was especially wonderful; she tirelessly drove me ever

Thank you for your feedback.

We were honestly surprised by your review, as during your entire stay you repeatedly told us that everything was great, praised the food, and never mentioned any concerns. We wish you had shared your thoughts while you were here, so we could have discussed them openly.
Despite some challenges on our side, including your lack of suitable clothing for farm work and the slower pace of some tasks, we appreciated your effort and chose to leave you a positive review.
