village development

Camphill Rožkalni celebrates 25 years //

Since 1999, the Camphill “Rožkalni” has grown from a single farmstead into a village with two residential houses, a cultural center, two barns, and several workshops. Currently, in the village, 10 adults with intellectual developmental disabilities have found homes. In “Rožkalni,” villagers produce cheese and butter in a biologically certified dairy. The paper workshop fulfills orders for independent clients, including Waldorf schools in Latvia, Estonia, and Finland. In the renovated barn, a tea workshop has been set up where the tea collected during the summer is dried and fermented for the villagers’ consumption as well as for gifts. The village has obtained organic farming status, processing fields only with biological preparations and minerals that are prepared on-site in the village.
