Hospitality & Cooking volunteering
The farm is a space hosting a community of people including workers, volunteers, or residents. We also welcome long-term and short-term guests in a tree-house, cob houses and a yurt. We organize various events: Permaculture Design Courses, Natural Building Courses, Yoga classes that are open for our local village community to join and as well as friends and international participants. Hospitality team takes care of all accommodation and common spaces – making them clean and cosy, arranging more nature-based decoration and bringing home-like atmosphere. One of the main task is also welcoming guests, volunteers, course participants, and also supporting the kitchen manager in cooking creative meals or making homemade preserves.
We're looking for someone who would like to commit for at least 1 month and is willing to share this experience and learn with us in this process.
