About the project

ERTO ECO FARM I

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

For years EstYES has been cooperating with farms all over Estonia for solidarity, respect and practical support to local people who work in agricultural sector keeping traditional life style and developing new eco-farming despite of all difficulties. Erto Farm is one of such projects. This is an organic farm promoting sustainable lifestyle, and this camp is proposed for volunteers who appreciate and share its values, want to learn more about it and to help hard working people. Erto Farm located in the Jogeva County in the South of Estonia. The farm is one of the few organic farms in this area. It is specialized in growing vegetables and beef cattle.

💼 What the programme involves

The main task for volunteers will be to weed and harvest (manually) vegetables and take care for animals (cows). Volunteers have to be motivated to work outdoors doing sometimes quite physical work under changing weather conditions. The volunteers will work during working days for 6-7 hours. One day is free.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The 100 m away from the main farmhouse there is a small house with the kitchen, one bedroom (mattresses) and dry toilet. Volunteers will stay there. Shower and sauna is available in the main Farmhouse. Please bring your sleeping bag. Volunteers will share the duties of cooking meals and cleaning. Volunteers will be eating mainly local, organic food from the farm.
