All volunteers will have personal contact with many of the guests that will visit the farm and they can easily make new friendships or exchange ideas on topics of interest. We usually make some small events on the farm such as Hempcrete Building Construction, Kids Farming Academy etc so you can meet new people there as well. We will also present to you many of the Bulgarian cultures and traditions, especially around cooking. So if you are a foodie you will have the opportunity to try some new recipes. We will apply many of the Permaculture techniques and will learn about Agroforestry, Green Technology, Allelopathy.
