Our vision.
Create a green eco village which focuses on sustainable lifestyle.
Co-Existence with Nature
We will develop a balanced and healthy life with nature which includes two main projects: rewilding and permaculture.
Our Rewilding project will focus on preserving the existing natural systems while developing more ways for the local animals and plants to grow back stronger. We will keep open borders with almost no fences, plant trees along the land and create different water source spots for wildlife.
Our Permaculture project will be led by Aya Lev and focus on several sub - projects. Vegetable gardens, food forest, educational program for families and workshops. Our goal is to rely on the productions of land.
Education
We aim to develop an inspiring educational program for our kids on the land. A program that will reconnect our kids with nature, help them to learn about the important synergy between us, humans, animals and plants. The program will allow the kids to explore the wonders of our world through art, music, multidisciplinary projects, language, mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, geometry, cooking and more.
We will offer children significant experiences and encounters that support them in their full development. Global development of the children: creative, cognitive, social and behavioural aspects.
The natural environment is our great inspiration, through observing the environment (flora, fauna and climate), using natural, recycled and sustainable materials.
Our program will be bilingual. It will involve local and international kids and their families.
Community
We will develop a strong community of people from around the world. Our farm relays on volunteers who will be able to work on different projects such as construction, education, cooking, operation and more.
Our dream is to accept more people as permanent residents and partners. People who share our vision.
Renewable Energy
Our land is bordered with two rivers. Our vision is to rely on renewable energy only. Learn to live a comfortable and balanced lifestyle with what nature gives us. We will generate green energy from the start. Our goal is to operate the entire farm with solar, wind and hydraulic energy and to use the natural resources to create clean energy for us and for the visitors.
Sustainable Businesses
Whether it's hospitality, food market, organic café, festival, coworking space or a retreat center, we will focus on working local suppliers, build strong relations with other farms around us, and aim to minimize the negative impact of our businesses on the planet. We already know that we will operate them using renewable energy. We already know that we will grow our own products (as much as we can).
Why Choose GECO?
Transforming Challenges into Opportunities
In a world burdened by climate change, pollution, and dwindling resources, we offer a sustainable solution. Our eco village addresses the environmental concerns that weigh heavily on many. The stress of urban life and the desire for cleaner air and better mental health become motivations for residents. Rising energy costs and the need for self-sufficiency are tackled through eco-friendly housing. We combat economic uncertainties and high living costs, providing a stable, green economy. We share a long-term vision for a healthier world and aim to build resilience in the face of modern system fragility. Ethics and responsibility for the environment are at our core, and you're invited to join our community, where meaningful connections are made and pain points are transformed into opportunities for a greener, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
