Description
Staroselska Farm is a regenerative ecological farm in Slovenia established in 2020 by Tamara Povh and Andrej Kurnik. The farm combines traditional ecological knowledge with agroecology, social ecology, and ethics of care. The camp aims to connect rural and urban communities, support sustainable living practices, and create a space for collective learning, volunteering, and cultural exchange. Through practical farm work, workshops, discussions, and community living, participants will explore regenerative agriculture, ecological responsibility, and social justice.
