Eikellegimaa is a not-for-profit organisation based in the southern Estonian countryside.
Our events and workshops promote more sustainable living and stronger community.
The forest is our setting and chief educator.
Mission
Our mission is to create a productive and adventurous space for present and future generations to use as a self-resilient, educational open farm!
This involves:
growing, foraging and cooking delicious responsible food
creating resilient food forest landscapes
eco-building creative spaces
connecting like-minded people and skill-sharing
offering therapeutic experiences in nature
living with a stronger connection to our environment, and one another

As our location is a ( peaceful and beautiful ) barrier to many, we will attempt to maintain some online content so that our excitements and failures are lessons for more than just ourselves!
How we pursue the mission!
As much as possible we aim to create, experiment and learn in the company of collaborators, volunteers, groups, clubs, friends and family. This allows us to further social cohesion and community resilience into a future with growing challenges. Through sharing and learning we can all be the richer, regardless of whether the task of the moment falls short of its goal!

Vision
Our vision is to manage an open farm and workshop space that offers many pathways for all to connect with nature and each other.
Why we do what we do
A future Estonia needs great examples of diverse, climate-adaptive food production ecosystems.
It needs examples of collective spaces where the knowledge and skills of all benefit all.
It needs reduced consumption, and increased understanding of our natural environment.
It needs simple, cheap, free, local, DIY alternatives to our current living behaviours that can address our changing climate and environment. Eikellegimaa intends to contribute to the trial and error process required to achieve such examples!
