We are growing a village

Interested in an alternative for fast city life where money is the main drive? Would you like to experience a life where people support each others growth in other values than only stuff? A life where we work together and care for each other as equals? A fulfilling self-sufficient life in harmony with nature?

Dreaming a village, a hamlet in nature, a place for people to work together, making beautiful things, live life, learn and celebrate. A story to create in the world.

This might be for you if:

• You long for fewer distractions and more meaning
• You enjoy responsibility rather than rules
• You value cooperation over convenience
• You want to grow food, skills, and relationships over time

This is probably not for you if:

• You are looking for a cheap place to live
• You expect a ready-made community
• You prefer clear hierarchies or fixed roles
• You want to escape life rather than engage with it

 

“The best way to predict the future is to design it” – Buckminster Fuller

 

We belong on the land where we can contribute our best. Working together in harmony with nature, to create self-sufficiency and independence. For us it is the way to live a good life for future generations to come.
So we're building a lovely, lively village in the heart of Croatia where people can live in harmony with nature. A welcoming place where people and nature are respected and included.

The village area is like an ecosystem with people, structures and nature. There is food security, fresh water security and biodiversity in a smart and low maintenance system.
The village is beautiful and fairy tale-like, a joy to live in. It is built with wood and other local, natural materials. Simple but comfortable, cosy, low maintenance, regenerative, with future generations in mind.

We are growing a village because we love this life on 12 hectares of edible landscape and we want to share it. Our aim is to live more self reliant and celebrate life in freedom and cooperation with like-minded people. People who want to live a healthy, independent life, eat from the gardens and celebrate Mother Nature.
A caring village where you can grow old, where people look after each other and everyone has a purpose and a good quality life. A community designed for current and coming generations.

We too are looking for a truly helpful, cooperative and regenerative culture, food and water safety and like minded people to share with. A village in the heart of Croatia, living sustainably in harmony with nature, with a culture of care for the earth, for each other and the future. A self sufficient community that includes and embraces, and where people ask themselves how they can contribute their best.

A village life with clear values, heart driven, caring and including.
A healthy lifestyle with home grown quality food and drinks.
Cooperating people to find small, simple and smart solutions.
The future is on our shoulders!

 

The time is ripe to grow a cooperative, co-owned village

We are looking for new partners in our village. People with skills to grow towards a self sufficient life in harmony with nature. People with personal and material mastery to join us in a value driven community. Being flexible and fun, able to cooperate and create an enthusiastic atmosphere, even when things get difficult, are important traits to make a cooperative initiative thrive.

 

Reaching out to grow a village

We are growing a village with people who care for the earth, for people and for the future. Uncomplicated people who are looking for a fun life in nature with like-minded others. Independent families with skills to combine with the other skills available here, to co-create a beautiful way of living.

We're looking for engaged, passionate people with a shared vision. Independent people with a drive and dedication to cooperate towards a thriving community. Permaculturists for instance, animal farmers, personal development trainers, gastronomer chefs, martial arts masters...
Besides engaged, passonate people with a shared vision, we need to build and re-build. Therefore we welcome master carpenters, builders and funders to join us.
