Do you live in high floors of city concrete building, and this has become stressful? Do you want to change your lifestyle? Are you enough with the weekend food activities? Do you like gardening and nature? Do you like animals? Are you a fan of comping? Do you want to have more time with the family and kids?
There is one place that provides all the answers. Farm Hub: A city farm in the suburb of Tirana, Albania
Farm Hub inspires and educates communities engaging people each year via carefully designed programs that build skills and knowledge and increase well-being and self-esteem in rural outdoor environments. Using a 1 hectare small-holding, 2 hectare of entertaining and service areas and 9 hectare of Community Allotments we connect people from all walks of life to the story of food, to nature and to each other.
Many of our programs are specifically designed for community members experiencing stress disorder from city pressure and daily work, for families who want to strengthen the connections and those who like to remodel their lifestyle, including more active weekends.
