Our Permaculture Farm

Nestled on 14 hectares of forest and fruit trees, our farm is a space to connect with nature and explore simple, regenerative ways of living. We grow food, care for animals, and experiment with systems like agroforestry, composting, and bioferments — always learning by doing.
