About Mari
The PDC course with Cat of two weeks in Estonia was one of the greatest time in my life.
I have a garden around my house at the seaside nearby Tallinn, where I grow some veges and herbs for my family. I also have a future project waiting in the countryside at Southern Estonia – a little farm to start by permaculture principles, so there is a lot of planning still ahead. There are some huge outbuildings in bad condition to think a new use for these. I would like to integrate animals to that farm and basically restore the place to its original purpose of growing this and that and be as selfsustainable as possible with small numbers of different animals. Like in the Babe movie 😉 Hoping to make it a LAND place in future, it means after couple of years. Also dreaming of establishing a small community there of people who think alike.
