Raw vegan farm

The property is situated on the southern slopes of Dilj Mountain. The total area of 45,000m2 began to receive its first permacultural elements back in 2012 when group of young locals with permucultural education started to work together with me on permacultural ideas . They are not here any more but I kept on developing the estate by myself and with help of people like you, hopefully :) The estate still operates by permacultural elements and solutions already implemented. The garden has been designed according to the principles of permaculture as well as two small ponds to collect surface water. In addition there is a greenhouse, so I usually have fresh produce all year round. Also, I am a fruit-hunter and I would like your help in it.
I will gladly and happily host you if you are willing and ready to try to experience a self sustaining lifestyle and raw vegan diet. A raw vegan diet means that we only eat fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds that are uncooked. Therefore in my kitchen I do not have any facilities for cooking food, however if you feel like something warm, you can make hot tea on the wood stove. I usually visit the green market a couple of times a week to make sure we have plenty of fruits and vegetables to eat. I also go to the old well in the village to collect spring water for drinking. You should also be aware that a raw vegan diet also puts your body through a detox process.If you would like to do something good for your body and your health, than this would be a great opportunity for you.. In this case, I recommend you stay for one month to go through the detox process. Because of that I would prefer if you don't bring any cigaretes, alcohol or even coffee, or food shopped in stores.

Hello, I'm Andrej: Artist, handy-man, gardener and a non-officially educated permacultural practitioner with tons of experience in permaculture style of living. I am also a single father of four, with two of my children living at home: Vito (10) and Ivan Gerd (12). Accommodation is simple with a few seperate rooms in the house, and if the weather allows it, there is a possibility to set up a tent. If you have plans in terms of coexistence with nature, meditation and artistic creation, and are seeking a place to be, and to live (short/long term), I'm willing to share my land with you and offer a piece of it in exchange for help around the property. We could build a small, simple house on the land within a few days to a week, where you can live and experience a peaceful lifestyle. My property is located in the city but in the forest. Because of that I must say that you can expect to see wildlife around and in the house. In this area there is no dangerous animals, but we do have lots of different kind of bugs, reptiles and mammals. I try to live fully in symbiosis with nature so I try not to use detergents, shampoos and cleaning chemicals, but we can always find alternative preparations for all of that if you are in need. At some times, in my home you can find lots of children, I always try to find new ways to make playground out of my property. But that also means that at some times my house is messy and I would like your help with that also. But there are times (rarely) when all of the children are not here. That is when I am here by myself, relaxing, listening my needs, hanging out, gardening, making art etc. If you want to company that, you are more than welcome.

No me he sentido ni a gusto ni segura, el anfitrión tiene comportamientos que no son aceptables ni seguros para las chicas.
Si eres una chica no vayas allí.
No respeta los horarios y la casa está muy sucia.
No es una persona que sea cívica.
Si eres un chico no tendrás problemas de contacto con él.
No recomiendo este lugar. Gracias.

I will only say this.
2014. is the year I started my experience with volunteers (Workaway, WWOOF, Helpex and Worldpackers), had many projects and hundreds of people in my home with my family. You are the first one that said anything like this about me.
I am mortified that I must read and answer this. I do not want to offend you publicly or privately but I must say that I believe that this anger on me is caused just by me being a male person, the subject I do not want to elaborate out of respect to you.
Drinking alcohol almost every day, disrespecting my home and my kids, big mood swings in which in one moment you are aggressive, then in other saying that you finally feel relaxed, then again, we are here...those and unfortunately, many others, diminishes your feedback.
For the volunteers reading this, any of you can write me, I also have memory book written by many of my volunteers, male and female, children and elderly, which I can post...you can read my profile, just by reading it, you will realize some common sense.
I must say that seems a little unusual how I got negative review just from two native friends, both without basis.

Para mí la experiencia no funcionó, no me sentí cómoda con las instalaciones ni con la higiene, sin productos de limpieza, lavando los platos solo con agua, las duchas no estaban bien y por la noche temia que algun bicho entrara en mi saco de dormir. El trabajo no estaba claro, sugería cosas pero sin instrucciones claras de que hacer ni horarios. Si buscas salirte de las convenciones sociales y no te importan las cosas que he mencionado definitivamente el lugar es para ti. El anfitrión me acogió bien y entendió mi decisión de irme pero estuve sola con el durante mi estancia, me sentí incomoda.

Thank you. I did believe that the information on my profile were clear. Living in rural area does mean presence of bugs, wood, soil and other around and in the house. One of the things "single father" means is that sometimes the kids are with their mother, I believe that is quite normal.
As a single parent and a host, I believe that is normal also that you can expect that one of the jobs and parts of helping is cleaning, which is quite regular help that many host need.
I must say that in our agreement you were expected to stay for a month, of which you were here less than 24 hours (slept through the night and left the next day) and in between didn't even try to meet your surrounding, house, host, animals, neighborhood, or ask if something is not clear to you.
I didn't want to write like this but it started to confuse potential volunteers which I am very happy to host.

I had a really good time with Andrej and his family, they're all good and interesting people. The living conditions were a bit more rustic than I expected but I quickly got used to it. It was also interesting to try a new form of alimentation. I had a lot of free time to explore, but I would recommend to go when it's a bit warmer, not in winter, so that there is also more work to do on the property. Thank you for everything!
