Bogata Šuma means Rich Forest in Croatian. And rich it is! We're living in an edible landscape that slowly transforms into a polyculture nut orchard.
Bogata Šuma now is a permaculture family homestead on the top of a hill in the forests of Croatia. Slowly we're growing a village with like-minded people who want to live a more self-sufficient life in nature.

Hello, my name is Cathrine and I have a passion for regenerating essential ecosystem functions. My place is a small homestead where I work with permaculture ethics and principles. I aim for about 50% self-sufficiency and have a forest garden, kitchen garden, chickens, water saving systems, compost and compost toilet. The house is renovated using organic building methods and has a rocket mass heater, clay plastered walls and recycled materials.
