Volunteering on our self sufficient permaculture homestead in these green hills in the heart of Croatia
Here at Bogata Šuma we love to host people from all over the world! It brings us inspiration, new ideas and insights, first hand views on international politics, new games or recipes, a rhythm in our day and fun for us and our kids.
At the moment however, we're only hosting CHEFS and WOOD WORKERS to help us with specific fun tasks.
From spring 2022 we will host other people again, after they did our introduction week. This introduction course is all about:
-
learning about a self sufficient life in harmony with nature,
- permaculture solutions and how they work in practice,
-
how you can use permaculture design methods for setting up your own sustainable life

If you are a chef, please send us an email with your experience and how you can inspire and help to homeschool our 17 year old son Nol.
If you know your way around with wood and/or construction, Peter would be happy with your help to construct fun stuff. Things like a new gypsy wagon, a solar panel-outdoor kitchen roof, a reciprocal roof, furniture, animal housing... Please email us and tell us about your experience!
As a chef or wood worker we provide you with a comfortable bed and 3 (organic, healthy AND delicious) meals a day.
You work 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, in a small team or alone with Peter. Weekends are off.
For people that want to learn about permaculture, self sufficiency and a sustainable lifestyle, we developed a special program.

Sustainable living program
The first week of your stay is an intensive and paid program to learn about practical permaculture in real life. How did we design our land and our life with permaculture ethics (earth care, people care and fair share or future care) and principles as decision making tools.
In this week you will get an overview of what is permaculture and a sustainable life and how do we do that here at Bogata Šuma. We'll speak about how we setup our homestead, how we grow towards self sufficiency and how we designed our place.
This week is a mandatory introduction week for general volunteers. It will be held a few times a year, when we have openings for volunteering:
Monday 28 March - Sat. 2 April 2022 or
Monday 2 - Saturday 7 May 2022 or
Monday 6 - Saturday 11 June 2022 or
Monday 12 - Saturday 17 September 2022
Venue: permaculture farm Bogata Šuma, Vojnic, Croatia
Costs: € 70,- per person including 3 meals a day and a bed or camping spot.
If you are coming together, please both apply separately.
