Food Forest is forestgarden where edible planting of plants will copy the natural ecosystem and natural patterns.
Food Forest is like real forest, reaching up to the sky, than reaching underground. Here is all forest fronts or layers – high tree layer (Juglans Regia), low tree layer (Malus Domestica), bush layer (Ribes nigrum), shrub layer (Vaccinium Myrtillus), herb layer (Allium Ursinum), moss layer (Cetraria Islandica). Some would like to add on the moss layer also mycelial layer (mushrooms) and in bush layer also vertical layer (climbing plants). In addition, the Food Forest also has a root layer (vegetable).
Acting like this will fit in one area more plants, insects and animals, who all toghether will create healthy and working ecosystem.

Discover Estonia Differently – Tipi Nights, Wild Food & Canoe Adventures
Step off the beaten path and into the heart of southern Estonia, where nature leads and simplicity restores. Our traditional tipi (püstkoda) rental offers a unique overnight experience surrounded by forest, firelight and silence – perfect for slowing down and reconnecting.
Add to that a taste of Estonia with our wild food experiences – foraged, fire-cooked meals shared under the trees, inspired by local traditions and nature’s rhythm.
Explore the peaceful Gauja River near Hargla by canoe, drifting through untouched landscapes, listening to the quiet, and letting the water guide your thoughts. Whether you’re looking for a short day paddle or a multi-day journey, our routes are designed for those who seek meaning, not just movement.
At Elureis, we craft local, small-scale travel experiences that feel personal and real. Our adventures aren’t about ticking off places – they’re about living them.

- Karma Joogapäev
Toimub esimene karma joogapäev Tsirgumäe Toidusalus. Lõikame õunapuid ning teeme saadud okstest uue permapeenra. Kuna igal kevadel oleme korraldanud selle õppepäevana siis nüüd teeme seda natukene teises formaadis. Karma jooga tähendab puhastumist läbi füüsilise töö. Tihtilugu tehakse midagi selleks, et saada tegevusest mingi konkreetne tulemus ja kasum. Seekordne päev saab olema selleks, et midagi lihtsalt teha ja tunda selle tegemisest rõõmu. Me ei keskendu sellele, mida kuidas teha vaid kuidas tegevust nautida ja olla ühes looduse, iseenda ning teistega. Igal kevadel tunduvad aiategevused lõputu nimekirjana ja tundub nagu jookseks ajaga võidu ning keskendume tulevikule aga unustame olla hetkes kuni silmapilgselt saab kevadest […] - Praktiline töötuba “Päikesepaneelidest kastmissüsteemini”
Praktiline töötuba “Päikesepaneelidest kastmissüsteemini” 04.05.2024 Kutsume teid osalema töötoas, mille eesmärgiks on päikeseenergial isetoimiva kastmissüsteemi rajamine. Ühe praktilise päeva suureks eesmärgiks on paigaldada veepump tiiki, vedada voolikud, paigaldada kastmissüsteemid ( erinevad vihmutid) ning paigaldada ja seadistada “timerid”, et kogu süsteem toimiks automaatselt. Eelmises koolituses tegime teoreetiliselt selgeks, kuidas paneelidest vool kätte saada ning kuidas ehitada akupank. Käime veelkord kogu süsteemi läbi ning saame ka katsuda töötavat “Off Grid” süsteemi. Arutleme erinevate võimaluste üle ning tutvustame erinevaid seadmeid paneelidest voolu kätte saamiseks. Seejärel paigaldame veepumba tiiki ning paneme selle tööle päikeseenergial. Sealt veame voolikud kasvuhooneni ning paigaldame kastmissüsteemi ja kella, mis […]

Project: Tsirgumäe Food Forest
The beginning It all started when Aurora saw the first light of Mother Gaia – born in Northern Norway, her favourite food was berries and fruits. But in this place was impossible to grow something nutritious for her. Of course, people had their greenhouses, and everything is possible, when you try hard enough, but for…
