What we do

Our goal is to create a self-sufficient community that’s a little different from the usual ecovillage. We want to build an education center where people can explore and combine the best of traditional methods with modern technology to live more sustainably. This will be a place where we research, gather, test, and apply ideas about self-sufficiency.
We’re excited about working with startups, companies, and local farmers to find real solutions to everyday challenges. Our community will be a welcoming space where locals can come together, interact, and learn about a variety of topics.
While we currently share this passion, the project will be not limited to the aspects of self-sufficiency. We are also musicians and artists and anyone who wants to use the space to do something is invited to reach out. What really motivates us is the chance to live and enjoy life with others who want to create a home base together. We want to create a place where people can live more sustainably, continuously learn new skills, and make a difference together without having too many obligations. Instead of always searching for entertainment by moving from place to place, we want to show how you can grow and find purpose in one spot, surrounded by a supportive community.
This will be a place where people of all ages can come together, share knowledge, and build strong social connections.

Our Mission

Our mission is to explore and implement the best possible solutions for sustainable living, energy and water self-sufficiency, waste-reuse, agricultural practices and bring this knowledge to the world (and the world to us). The hub will be a place where innovation meets traditional methods, offering a platform for research, development, and practical application. While this is a passionate driver of the project, we also simply want to have a place with like-minded people to enjoy everyday life together and create an adult playground. All other initiatives for the project are highly appreciated and encouraged.
