Tsirgumäe Food Village MTÜ

The aim of the NGO is to create a food garden, which will be a forest park planted with plants that are useful to humans (edible, medicinal, for heating or as building materials) as well as plants that are necessary for the holistic functioning of the food garden, mimicking natural ecosystems and patterns in the planting principles. The establishment of a food garden is a process that takes many years and involves several stages of planning. The first stage was the decision to create an agroforestry, where a variety of cereals and vegetables are sown between the apple trees. All the major work needed on the food plot is done by horse power, with several people trained in the team. 

NGO Friends of the Pool

The NGO was set up with the aim of creating new opportunities for activities of interest in the local area. The NGO is in the process of setting up the Kalliküla Hobby Centre. Soon, a sawmill and woodworking facilities will be ready, where everyone will be able to cut and plane their own wood into lumber. The Hobby Centre will initially have space and equipment for hobbyists. Rooms for mechanics are also being planned. Another area the NGO is working on is community youth. Training courses, camps, recreational activities and the development of a Gaia class for young people.

In the longer term, the idea is to develop the Kirepi farm complex in a way that will help local entrepreneurs bring their products directly to consumers.

Non-profit organisation Parmu Eco Village

The NGO Parmu Eco Village is located within the villages of Tsirgumäe, Sooblase, Hargla and Tõrvasõ. People with a green mindset live and work in the eco-village and their primary goal is a nature-friendly existence. The work takes into account national experiences and culture. All the work tries to be done by 'bone-steam'. This does not mean that modern tools and technologies cannot be used. People move around the village on foot, bicycle, boat, skis or horse. Modern means of communication are used. The energy needed to power them must be provided by alternative means such as solar, wind, water or other. Activities envisaged in the eco-village: rearing of cattle for meat production, felling and maintenance of forests and extraction of forests outside the village boundaries, local procurement of food, collection of medicinal plants and food supplements, horse care, etc..
