FAQ

The usual questions.

Is the village confirmed?+

Not yet. It runs only if at least twenty people pledge by Dec 15, 2026. Below the threshold, every pledge is refunded in full.

What is the minimum price for nomads?+

Nomad stays start at $500 for one week. A separate $50 Local Pass exists for nearby residents bringing their own accommodation. Local Pass is coworking-only and doesn't include a bed at Farmfra.

What's the daily rhythm like?+

Mornings are protected deep-work blocks at the Farmfra coworking. Afternoons open into the village: coffee with hosts, project work, or a walk. Dinners are communal four nights a week. Weekends are island excursions led by weekend hosts.

What's the internet like?+

Farmfra has fiber and a quiet desk room suitable for video calls. Coverage is reliable enough for daily Zoom and shipping work. If you have a hard requirement (e.g. recording high-bandwidth video), confirm with the host before pledging.

What language is spoken?+

English is the working language of the cohort and the program. Hosts switch to Korean for village interactions; a few Dumo locals speak basic English, and we translate when it matters.

Keep your work. Change the life around it.
