We are so inspired by the story of a collective of 40 organic berry and grain farmers in Ukraine called AHIMSA (which, ironically, means non-violence), who are hosting 150+ refugees from Kharkiv on their farm and feeding the military to protect their right to live in harmony with nature on their land. We will match your donation to them!

“All nature that surrounds us is alive and dynamic. She also feels, breathes, plays. And the relationship with her is an important source of energy of joy and life for every person. And so our team decided to start creating natural, organic food products that will carry not only physical purity and usefulness, but also bring peace, kindness and pure energy to life. Those become something more than just organic... - AHIMSA”

/əˈhimˌsä/ noun (in the Hindu, Buddhist, and Jainist tradition) respect for all living things and avoidance of violence toward others.

WHO ARE WE?
In year of 2005, we have gathered the group of people, who like to live in a different way of life – with no harm, envious, greed and etc. We want to change our life into the better and create a community of people, which can show that we can be more happy working together with nature and cows. And we did it! We got the best 150 hectares of lands and soil in Ukraine – a nature reserve in one of the purest places – Chernechchyna village, Dnipro region, on the bank of one of the purest river of Europe – Orel. Since that time we start develop our ideas into reality and creating a small village: work hard, develop land and grow up!
