Our farm is a beautiful permaculture farm in a rustic rural beauty spot in the Stara Planina mountains, 1 hour by train north from Sofia. We live in a small community of organic farms. We help farm 11,000 m2 of beautiful mountain land, in the scenic Iskar Gorge region.
We are 2km up the mountain from the nearest town, population 2,000 with train station, school shops and cafes, good connection with Sofia, 10 trains per day.
The farm is accessible by foot from Tserovo, come with light bags because The walk up mountain can be hard.
Getting to us by Car

Volunteering
We welcome WWOOF volunteers.
Work
Work can include any of the following depending on season, planting, transplanting, weeding, composting, mulching, tree planting, fence building, dry stone walling, eco-building (mixing cob mix), digging ponds, animal husbandry, harvesting fruit and vegetables, preserving, wood chopping and some general help at the farm.
Hours are 37 hours per week, with two days off at the weekend, some of the more skilled work and systems at the farm will need a bit of training to do or understand, therefore, we do training sessions for the volunteers. These are not compulsory but they are very interesting and educational and after training you will be able to help with this work.
The training sessions given are not included in the 37hours and you will be given time to select which skills you would like to learn or improve on what you already know.
In return for your help you will be given comfortable accommodation in a shared room and 3 meals per day on you working days. On your days off you will supply and cook for yourself. There is a kitchen for your use in the volunteers house. Take a good look at our pics :)
