Resumo: We are an ecovillage located in the countryside, in the coastline of Finland. The word ecovillage means an intentional community that aims to sustainable and more natural lifestyle, sharing of resources, voluntary work for common good, and active social life. This ecovillage is 10 years old. We are now some 20 to 30 adults and 13 children. Every year more people join and start a new life here. We own 64 hectares of land together, on which we build houses mainly from natural materials, using partly traditional and partly advanced and experimental methods.

About 10 residential houses have been completed, plus many are in construction, plus we have communal buildings. We have a non-profit co-operative garden that produces a wide variety of organic vegetables that mostly go to customers in the nearby city. There are many other small businesses here, including construction, animal farming, horse-related businesses, agriculture, a bakery, and practitioners of traditional alternative healthcare. We are constantly receiving many visitors and volunteer workers who want to see and experience our alternative and creative lifestyle. We are one of the successful ecovillages in Finland: we are growing, we have strong economy, we have recently bought more land and buildings, we have a very good reputation among the locals, among the public authorities, and in the ecovillage movement. We have a well functioning organisation structure and decision making systems, and we have enthusiastic and skilled people who devote much of their time to serve the community. However, no-one is required to take part in working for the community, and the people have their privacy and run their own economies.

Tarefas: So far our EVS volunteers have among other things taken part in cultivation of vegetables in our organic garden cooperative, taken part in maintenance, renovation, and development of our communal buildings, helped in building new houses, making firewood, cleaning, cooking, creating big and small events, promoting the ecovillage in a variety of public events, and hosting our visitors. We expect that our future volunteers will be doing similar tasks and possibly an even wider range of tasks.
