About us

A family that completely changed their entire lives in 2013. From a standard lifestyle to a life in harmony with nature and joyful family time. We have five children and we are living in an old orchard which we changed into a permacultural paradise. We built a healthy ecological house here with our own help.

Today we are helping people to build their own healthy houses. See our website www.homereset.sk. We teach how to design and implement a natural garden. See the offer of our permaculture courses.

Our journey began in 2013 when we went to volunteer in New Zealand with our two little sons. There we got a taste of what permaculture is, which has been around for decades. After returning, we sold the house, quit our jobs and started building a natural paradise that resulted in a permaculture farm. We grow absolutely everything that can be grown in Slovakia. We also breed animals and spread inspiration about humane breeding.

Our garden is a certified natural garden. You can rightly find it in many articles, TV and radio shows. With the tenacious spreading of awareness about permaculture, we have brought this approach to nature and care for soil and people to the attention of Slovakia.

We have written two books on permaculture HOW TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL EDIBLE GARDEN AND NOT TO OVERCOME, A COZY AND HEALTHY HOME, ALŽBETKA AND KLÁRKA DREAM OF A MAGICAL GARDEN, visit our e-shop here. We made a full-length documentary film HAPPY PEOPLE LIVE IN A HEALTHY HOUSE, and the worldwide HBO television made a documentary film about our ecological approach.
