My name is Agnes and together with my husband Jan we manage a small diverse farm in southern Transilvania. We do a vegetable CSA (SoLaWi, AMAP) with 16 families, weekly delivering in Sibiu. We have a few sheep, chickens and runner ducks. Recently we planted a small forest/park and a small energy forest (poplar trees).
Volunteers at our farm work 5 hours a day (weekend free). Mostly in the morning and in the afternoon or evening an our or so, depending on what are the urgent jobs. We eat a warm lunch together and are happy with wwoofers that are cooks :). Preparing meals is work.
In the growing season we weed and harvest a lot. Also other jobs like repairing fences, making hay, chopping wood.
In our yard we have 2 houses. One of them is hosts our volunteers and /or guests. It has a living, kitchentte and bathroom. The attic has up to 5 beds available. Camping is also a possibility.
The warm lunch is our main meal and we enjoy that together in our outside kitchen. For breakfast and evening meals we provide the ingredients and you are free to eat together or individually. We do not buy much, eat mostly our local food.
Our farm is in a small village near the foothills of the Carpathian mountains. A great place for hiking. The historic town of Sibiu is accessible by train (trainstop 2,4km from our house).
