About the Project
We are currently transforming this old farm into a place that can be enjoyed, lived and experienced.
Our goal is to restore the land to a natural, beautiful state and to develop thoughtful accommodations that feel connected to their surroundings.
Step by step, we’re turning the property and its buildings into a space where people can slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a genuinely unique stay..
Our Vision
Our vision is to offer a beautiful place to recharge, enjoy, explore, and get involved, with a strong commitment to preserve nature.
Our Vision
Our Vision is to build a sanctuary for rest, exploration, and inspiration with a strong commitment to protecting and regenerating the land.
From mountain ridges to ocean views, from wildlife to wide-open skies, this place invites you to breathe deeper and be part of something meaningful.
What We Do
Farm21 brings together:
- Unique, top-notch accommodation
- Hands-on permaculture farming
- Educational programs & workshops
- A space for learning, building, and sharing
Our Mission
Our mission is to learn together and inspire sustainable living — one practical step at a time.
We want to build a resilient place where knowledge flows, communities thrive, and nature is respected.
Who We Are
Three people with a shared vision and the privilege of bringing it to life. We look forward to welcoming more great minds to the team soon. Let us introduce ourselves:
Stephanie Schmidt
Co-Founder
Animal-lover, nature enthusiast, and the heart of good vibes at Farm21.
Her contagious laugh, warm energy, and eye for detail make every space feel more welcoming — for visitors, animals, and the team alike.
Robert Schmidt
Co-Founder
A versatile engineer with a big heart.
A South African returning home, passionate pilot, curious tinkerer, and occasional ukulele player.
Robert builds, repairs, improves — and always brings calm, precision, and kindness.
Thomas Haase
Co-Founder
Half-Swiss, half-Czech, fully dedicated to building (and sometimes breaking) things so that Robert has something to fix.
Tech-driven, idea-driven, and always ready to turn visions into reality. And he can hardly resist a good dad joke.
What to Expect
Reconnect with Nature
Experience the calm of wide-open spaces, fresh air, and natural stillness. Farm21 invites you to unwind, be present, and return home grounded — with your batteries fully recharged.
Be Part of the Impact
From handmade pieces to produce harvested from the soil, to meaningful encounters with the people who help shape this place. Your visit makes a difference that you can feel.
Create & Get Inspired
Whether you want to turn your idea into reality, learn something new or join others in hands-on making — our workshop is open to all, turning the space into a place where skills and ideas are shared.
