Description
Hello everyone, we are an international married couple, Kris and Leon(we actually met during a Workaway!) After traveling together we decided to settle down and start a farm in Lithuania. The farm is located in a small village near the Polish border, surrounded by forest, fields, and lakes and 20 minutes away from a small town. We have 4 pets (1 husky, and 3 cats). Our main interest is sustainable living and becoming 100% self-sufficient, so we have an endless supply of projects ranging from renovating the house to gardening. (also building a guest house, helping with the dog, reorganizing the plot and et.s.)

In fact, a lot of things are to do here, we will find work for you in any case – if you’re really willing to work seriously and help to develop the place.
We are happy to host responsible, honest, hard-working, and adventure-loving people.

The big national park is close by. A bunch of lakes, and wildlife.

What else ...
The environment is peaceful and the nights are amazingly silent(if you are tired of living in a big city - it's your chance)
