About the workproject

We need 3 volunteers

We are planning to create a small cohousing community in our farm.
This year we need help to create an organic vegetable garden, flower and herbs gardens, a greenhouse, walkways, a kiosk and some shades. Some construction and building will be done too, we also need help with computer and websites, so some technical skills will be needed as well.
You will learn about Cohousing, and have an experience in community living. You will learn about organic gardening and sustainable living.
If you like you can learn Greek language and definitely much about our culture.
At the moment there is a new, small, fully equipped cottage on the property.
The farm is in northern Greece and has a lovely view to Olympus (the famous mountain of the Ancient Greek Gods) and Pieria mountains (the home of the art muses). It is very close to the Katerini city (5 min. drive), the nearest beach is 9 km away, and a coastline of many kilometers offers many different types of beaches. The place offers you many options for outdoor activities, during your free time here (tracking, climbing, swimming, partying).
The project is just in the beginning, whoever likes the idea is most welcome to help in its realization or to become a prospective resident of our Cohousing neighborhood.

No alcohol abuse.
Drug-free.
