About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Since 2000, volunteers from all over the world have been participating in summer programs designed to improve the vegetable farm. During the last years we focused to improve more for the facilities of locals/ volunteers but not farming method and way. So when we look back in this moment our way to do farming and cultivating is not really productive and eco friendly. Even other farmers who doing same work around us are same. Local people work very hard for hall summer but in autumn they got very small harvest compare to their hard work. So since this year we going to develop our farm more as a training center of eco farming for the local people. Local people could learn in our center basic but very important ecological farming methods and know/how. We wish to achieve to get biggest amount of harvest, using smallest amount land. Volunteers will work in eco vegetable farm and develop eco farming training center. Vegetables from the eco farm will be donated to the low income (poor) local families.

ℹ️ Additional information

We advise volunteers to arrive / leave Mongolia at least a day before/ after the projects because volunteers should not expect so much sightseeing during the projects. (if you want to do it, please do it before/ after the workcamps!). And it is possible to stay in the cheap guest houses (around 10€ per night) together with volunteers in the same workcamp before/ after the workcamps!
