Support a Peace Farm in Bosnia and Herzegovina

After a busy summer full of tranings, camps, new people and volunteers coming to the farm. Each action and person made their contribution to a better and more beautiful Peace farm.

In September we had a Peace fest as a new dimension of celebrating our International Peace week. Workshops and panel discussions were organized at the Peace farm as well as dialog sessions with participants not only from Bosnia but also from all around the world. At the farm we built a parking lot and also a stage where we had our opening ceremony as well as concert for choirs for the International Peace day.

Since the last update about our farm, we had three new internships from Germany and Sweden which came living at the Peace farm and learning about the culture and history of Bosnia and Herzegovina and also our organisation. We also had two volunteers from The Netherlands, they were very helpful about preparing the garden after seeding and picking the vegetables. 

Winter is coming where everything gets more quiet and colder. We are on the way of planning new farm projects and changes.

We sincerely thank everyone who contributed that our idea of the Peace Farm, the place of harmony of people and nature, lives and develops every day.

This summer at our farm it was pretty busy. We had a Peace training for Youth from Krajina and also a Peace camp for youth from all around Bosnia. Our young praticipants had the oppurtunity to sleep in tents at the farm, and in addition to workshops on reconciliation, identity and much more, they had fieldword where the participants had the oppurtunity to clean around the farm, work in the garden and forest, and building a park in the forest and also made a volleyball field.

Our vegetables are now grown and we are in the process of picking up the tomatoes, eggplants, peppers and more. We are selling and giving them to our local people who love to eat organic food.

In september we have a Peace fest where we expect hounders of young people coming, and also for that event we are building a parking and a stage for our opening ceremony and also a concert for the choirs that we are planing for the International Peace day.

In july we had also a Belgium scouts group that came to see our Peace farm and help us in the garden and else what has been needed. 

We sincerely thank everyone who contributed that our idea of the Peace Farm, the place of harmony of people and nature, lives and develops every day.

In Spring we planted the whole garden, now we are watering and waiting to get fresh and organic vagetables. CIM's volunteer club and the local people from Sanski Most helped us to sow the garden, and we had fun days all together working around garden.

We are glad that we managed everything to prepare around the garden because most of the spring were big rainfalls.

In May workers from Austria started digging the lake, they will be coming in June again to finish it up, and hopefully we will have soon a big lake at our farm. 

Our Peace Camps are near the corner, we are now looking for participants, working on the program, and preparing the whole farm to be ready for it. 

At the farm we have a new employee, and we are grateful for the help and work that he provides. International volunteers are also coming at our farm, we had three girls, one was from China, and two of them were from Swizterland. In the coming period, we are expecting a scouts team from Belgium, who have shown interest in in visiting our farm and helping us on our upcoming activities.

We sincerely thank everyone who contributed that our idea of the Peace Farm, the place of harmony of people and nature, lives and develops every day.

We are now in the spring preparations for our garden. It's getting nice wetter, so our garden has to be prepared for planting. We even managed to plant some sorts such as onions, peas, mangold and others. At the farm we have now chickens, geese and ducks, they are in the spring mood, more fresh and organic eggs are coming so our selling is getting bigger and bigger.

We also have volunteers which help us to prepare for further activities, even at the beginning of this month we were joined by a volunteer from Russia, who takes care of our animals. 

A lot of things we will have going on this year. In may there will be a lake made in the area of our farm. Also this summer there are planned three peace camps, that's why we are most focused on preparing the farm for these events and getting all the materials we need.

We sincerely thank everyone who contributed that our idea of the Peace Farm, the place of harmony of people and nature, lives and develops every day.

Our peace farm has about 10 hectare of land,where we have 6 hectares  of cultivable land, which two hectares are sown.  The farm has also a house which is arranged in a home for our international volunteers. Our volunteers come from all around the world who were always very helpful for every activity and work at the farm. We also have a loto f people and volunteers from Sanski Most, and we are so thankful for every single one of them. We renovated the kitchen, living room and bedrooms. Our volunteers will always greet you with a welcome, they also take care of the animals, crops and provide all the informations about the farm for our guest. On the farm we currently have a stable with our sheeps and goats, also this year they got little baby's. We have built a chicken coop for a free range chicken egg farm, we got about hundred chickens now on our farm and we started selling fresh, organic eggs for out citizens.We can't forget our geese who are very loud but also very friendly, but no one can resist our farm cats.They are just so loveable and cuddly. On our two hectare land which is sown, we have a lot different seads such as wheat, corn , beans, zucchini,  tomatos, peppers and a lot of other vegetables. Our garden, which is completely organic, has given many fruit.We are very happy about it because it succed, everything is ecologically sown, and everything is sown with permaculture methods, thanks to the effort of our volunteers. Also what we did on the farm was mowing grass, baling the straw, peeling corns and much more. Also along to our farm we have a large part of the forest. There is a lovely resting place with a big table and benches, also you can enjoy the fresh and clear air there for just taking camly a walk. We also go with our volunteers and visitors in the forest to pick up forest fruits, mushrooms and herbs. 

 Through our Basca Mogucnosti (Garden of Possibilities) initiative, we want to establish a place of great diversity, regarding not only plants that will be growing here and creatures using them, but also concerning spontaneous and long planned gatherings as well as the creation, exchange and implementation of ideas, told jokes, spoken languages, learned lessons, relationships and thoughts that hopefully will also be growing here.
