POSESTVO BOROVNICA - SRČNI KOTIČEK NARAVE V OSRČJU SLOVENIJE
Dobrodošli na Posestvu Borovnica – prostoru miru, srčnosti in skupnega ustvarjanja, le nekaj kilometrov od Šmartna pri Litiji. Na sončni legi, obdani z gozdovi bukve, hrasta in kostanja, raste ljudem in živalim prijazna skupnost, ki živi v sozvočju z naravo, ljudmi in živalmi. Gojimo sibirske borovnice, gozdne jagode, jabolka ter divje zeli. Hrana, ki jo pridelamo, je rastlinska, zdrava in pripravljena z ljubeznijo. Obiskovalcem in prostovoljcem nudimo:
- tri rastlinske obroke na dan
- večinoma zasebno nastanitev (svojo sobo)
- skupnost, pogovor in podporo
- priložnost za učenje permakulture, gradnje, vrtnarjenja in gozdnih opravil
V zameno pričakujemo pomoč do 5 ur na dan, 5 dni v tednu. Možna je tudi dolgoročna ali stalna oblika sobivanja ter možnost, da v nekaj letih prevzamete kmetijo.

NAŠA VIZIJA: Naš cilj je iz posestva narediti vegansko oazo, sčasoma pa postati samozadostna (veganska) skupnost. Imamo 12 hektarjev gozda, rodovitno zemljo, dva izvira vode in prostorno zeleno hišo. Možna je tudi dolgoročna ali stalna oblika sobivanja, sprejemamo pa ljudi z vseh koncev sveta. Opomba: Veganstvo ni pogoj za prihod, je pa vegansko (rastlinsko) prehranjevanje edina vrsta prehranjevanja na posestvu.

KAKO DO NAS: Nahajamo se v bližini Litije. Najlažje nas dosežete:
- Z vlakom do Litije, nato z avtobusom do Cerovice (smer Gabrovka) ob 12.23, 14.28, 15.38 ali 17.18.
- Iz Cerovice nadaljujete 300 metrov in nato hodite navzgor približno 2 km – ali pa štopate (kar je tukaj precej enostavno).
- Ob delavnikih se lahko pridružite tudi meni na popoldanski vožnji iz Ljubljane okoli 17.00 z Litostrojske 59 ali z železniške postaje Litija.

O MENI: Sem Robin Turk, ustanovitelj in skrbnik Posestva Borovnica. Še vedno delam v Ljubljani (od ponedeljka do četrtka), a se načeloma vsako popoldne vračam na kmetijo – v svoj drugi dom. Sem srečno ločen, vegan pa sem kakšno desetletje. Vegan sem postal iz etičnih razlogov - ubijanje iz izkoriščanje živali namreč ne sprejemam. Moje življenje je prepleteno z raziskovanjem sveta in povezovanjem z ljudmi. Obiskal sem 150 držav, 83 od teh s kolesom, pretekel sem 10 maratonov, gostil več kot 1.150 gostov (v Ljubljani in na kmetiji). Govorim slovensko, hrvaško, angleško, italijansko, špansko ter nekaj francosko, nemško, portugalsko. Verjamem v moč skupnosti, v zdravilno energijo narave in v iskrene medčloveške vezi, ali drugače, verjamem v čisto, iskreno, brezpogojno ljubezen in sodelovanje med ljudmi. Če si želiš sobivanja, prostovoljstva ali zgolj obisk – si več kot dobrodošel. Veselim se srečanja z vami na naši kmetiji! Dobrodošel. Bienvenido. Welcome. Benvenguts. Willkommen. Bem-vindo. Selamat datang. Robin Turk

BOROVNICA HOMESTEAD - A HEARTFELT HAVEN OF NATURE IN THE HEART OF SLOVENIA
Welcome to Borovnica Homestead – a place of peace, kindness, and shared creation, just a few kilometers from Šmartno pri Litiji. Nestled on a sunny slope surrounded by beech, oak, and chestnut forests, our people and animal-friendly community lives in harmony with nature, people, and animals. At the homestead, we practice permaculture gardening, fruit cultivation, and forestry. We grow Siberian blueberries, wild strawberries, apples, and forage for wild herbs. The food we produce is plant-based, healthy, and prepared with love. We offer visitors and volunteers:
- Three plant-based meals a day
- Mostly private accommodation (your own room)
- Community, conversation, and support
- Opportunities to learn about permaculture, building, gardening, and forest work
In exchange, we ask for up to 5 hours of help per day, 5 days a week. Rest days are usually between Monday and Thursday. Long-term or permanent co-living is also possible, including the option to take over the homestead in the coming years.
---
OUR VISION - Our goal is to transform the homestead into a vegan oasis and eventually become a self-sufficient (vegan) community. We have 12 hectares of forest, fertile land, two natural springs, and a spacious green house. Long-term or permanent co-living is welcome, and we accept people from all over the world. Note: Being vegan is not a requirement to visit, but plant-based eating is the only type of diet practiced on the homestead.

HOW TO GET HERE: We’re located near Litija. The easiest ways to reach us:
- Take a train to Litija, then a bus to Cerovica (direction Gabrovka) at 12:23, 14:28, 15:38, or 17:18.
- From Cerovica, walk 300 meters and then uphill for about 2 km – or hitchhike (which is quite easy here).
- On weekdays, you can also join me for an afternoon ride from Ljubljana around 17:00, departing from Litostrojska 59 or the Litija train station.

ABOUT ME: I’m Robin Turk, founder and caretaker of Borovnica Homestead. I still work in Ljubljana (Monday to Thursday), but I usually return to the homestead every afternoon – my second home. I’m happily divorced and have been vegan for about a decade. I chose veganism for ethical reasons – I do not accept the killing or exploitation of animals. My life is deeply intertwined with exploring the world and connecting with people. I’ve visited 150 countries, cycled through 83 of them, run 10 marathons, and hosted over 1,150 guests (in Ljubljana and at the homestead). I speak Slovenian, Croatian, English, Italian, Spanish, and some French, German, Portuguese, and Bahasa. I believe in the power of community, the healing energy of nature, and sincere human connection. In other words, I believe in pure, honest, unconditional love and collaboration among people. If you’re interested in co-living, volunteering, or simply visiting – you are more than welcome. Looking forward to meeting you at our homestead! Robin Turk
