What we do

The Catfarm is an off-grid community of travelers, (digital) nomads, artists, healers, entrepreneurs, and purpose-driven people with the will to explore an alternative lifestyle closer to nature. Armed with old knowledge, instant communication, miraculous technology, and sheer strength of will, we hope to inspire all social classes to switch to a more respectful way of living in this high-speed changing world.
We merge people’s skills to develop projects, trainings, events, and hope to flourish into a self-sufficient paradise. Together, through sharing our knowledge openly in a place of safety we can make anything possible. We invite you to join us in building a bright and fulfilling future.
So far, as well as adapting the farmhouse and surroundings to produce food and gather solar energy, our biggest projects have included upcycling an old Peugeot into a bedroom, building a tipi, and starting to host youth exchanges run by our friends at Catfarm Education. We have now set our sights on building the Hackersfarm, a series of geodesic domes where we will delve further into permaculture and create spaces for art and upcycling protected from the weather. Or at least, that’s the plan at the moment, although like all our plans it may adapt and change as new travelers with their many skills and ideas make their contributions.
We have been providing a home for roaming souls, and have slowly gathered together an international community of creatives and nomads that design co-owned projects. We aim to develop our own lifestyle in harmony with nature, as well as building links with the local community and educating people to reduce waste, work together, express their creativity and understand the benefits of community life and learning from one another.

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
