Hello, wonderful people. We are a young family - my husband Stane (43), children Eli (8) Mark (4) and me Barbara (37). Living with our grandparents (78, 74) on our centuries-old hilltop organic farm. On the farm, we have horses, sheep, chickens, geese, dogs, and other lovely pets. On the farm, we are developing a range of daily activities for children and families, where they can experience life with nature and other living beings, understand the significance of all involved, and respect natural cycles. In the future, we will also offer spaces for longer stays on our farm. We believe that in this way, we encourage a sense of inner peace and contentment, which helps in resolving lifelong challenges and promotes a healthier and higher quality of life.
On the farm, we take care of the animals daily (feeding, cleaning, grooming), work in the fields where we tend to the vegetables and produce feed for the animals (mowing, haymaking). There is also a lot of work on the farm related to maintaining the surroundings and caring for the fences where the animals graze. When we have workshops for groups of children, we prepare the materials for crafting and the space beforehand, and then we spend time with the children – depending on the workshop's content, each one is connected to staying on our farm. WWOOFers can learn a lot of professional knowledge about animals (care, reproduction, riding,...) and get acquainted with ethnological knowledge (shearing sheep, wool crafting, knitting, making preserves, juices, ...).
We will eat together at the following times: breakfast (8:00), lunch (13:00), and dinner (18:00). The food is prepared for omnivores, ourselves at home.. For accommodation, we have a room with sanitary facilities in a wooden building next to the house.
I am interested in topics related to mental well-being and psychology – I read books and listen to podcasts. I enjoy practicing yoga, walking, and cycling, as well as making various decorative items. I love spending time with animals. I adore planning how to organize our farm and its surroundings. I am someone who enjoys activities, but I also cherish moments of peace. By education, I hold a Master's degree in Animal Science. I feel a mission to combine my knowledge with my energy and pass it on to others. Since I am curious, playful, and sometimes a bit childlike, this fits perfectly with working with children. :)
