We are looking for volunteers/WWOOFers who are interested in self-sufficiency. We, a nature-loving couple, live on a 3,5 ha big permacultural family homestead which exists for 7 years.
It is part of the settlement Vedrussiya, where a lot of other families live on their homesteads. We grow our own food, produce cheese, wine, soon establish an eco-touristic business.
We are surrounded by beautiful oak woods. Nature is very diverse. If you want to learn about self-empowerment and hands-on self-sufficiency come here and live with us for some days or weeks.
We want to share our experiences on how fulfilling a life in nature can be. Therefore, we invite people to our family homestead who want to learn the necessary skills and collect experiences in order to apply it in their own self-sufficiency projects or teach it to others. In our opinion, satisfying life on a family homestead, surrounded by like-minded people is the solution for all problems on our planet.
Current state/updates
Currently, we grow a huge part of the food that we need, heat with wood from the forest and use rainwater. This year we want to increase our degree of self-sufficiency by among others, building an earth cellar, an orangery and a permacultural pond.
Furthermore, we are going to build a touristic base and storage in the next months.
Pets/animals
With us live on our family homestead a dog, two cats and some ducks.

You will learn a lot about self-sufficiency, not only what regards growing your own food, but also how to generate your own heat, electricity and be independent of external water supply. Your stay may help you to find your place for living in case you like our settlement.
