flämingo farm

In 2017, after traveling for a year throughout Asia, we decided our newest adventure would be to breathe new life into an old farmhouse in Brandenburg. We grow our own vegetables using permaculture methods and keep chickens not only for their eggs, but for their company.

We aim to live a slow and more sustainable life and enjoy sharing our space with others. We want our farm to reflect what we believe in – an escape from the capitalist rat race of the outside world.

EVENTS

Environmental consultant and permaculture expert Asmelash Dagne will be back on our farm and will continue teaching his weekend workshop series on design,composting and drylands permaculture.

This time we’ll refresh the ethics & principles of permaculture, with a focus on the social aspect. After that we’ll dig into design features and will experiment with different techniques of building vegetables beds, particularly Market Gardening.

No matter if you are hobby balcony gardener, own your own piece of land, or just curious to learn more about permaculture, this event is designed for everyone. The workshop is a practical one – you’ll have a chance to get your hands dirty in our permaculture-food-forest-to-be. It will also be a continuation of our last workshop, so previous participants will get the chance to further their knowledge and work on a different project in the garden.

This event will begin at 11am on Saturday (with an option to arrive on Friday evening) and end at 4pm on Sunday.

By car, we are one hour away from Neukölln.

By train: the train (RE4 and RE5) runs roughly every hour from Berlin Südkreuz to Jüterbog and takes 40 minutes. From Jüterbog station, our house is an easy 10km bike ride.
