Hi, we are a group of six people living and working on an organic farm. The farm is located in western Germany near the cities Cologne (about 40 km), Düsseldorf (30 km) and Wuppertal (10 km). We are on this farm since February 2010. Quite fresh but very exiting starting this proect together! On our farm there are some chicken, 20 cows, 20 pigs, 3 donkey. From spring on we will plant vegetables, too. We are selling our products by our own delivery service and in a cafe located on the farm.

Family of three, mother and two sons. We live in a rural setting, close to Letterkenny and Derry surrounded by farmland and close to Lough Swilly. We have a large garden and plenty of room to host. You would have your own room and ideally blend into our fairly simple lifestyle. As i said we are a family of three, ! am 46, and my sons are 10 and 8 years, they live here most of the time but spend every other weekends with their dad. Interaction and good communication skills with kids would be an advantage. We have 2 cats so if your allergic it wouldn't work out and they have the run of the house also. I spent most of last year and so far this one too completing the renovations and extention to my home, so there are still little jobs to get done. I am an easy going very stable type of person, what you see is what you get, and i enjoy meeting new people. I have travelled some and lived in other countries also .so fairly wordly. If you are looking for somewhere to hang out for a while in a fresh and interesting location and have a good attitude towards work and communication then i think we should appeal. I trained as a ceramacist and was successfull with my own work, selling to stores all over ireland and USA, i put it on hold when i had my second son but now i am looking to get back to it. I have a studio at the back of my house why i plan to extend, so hopefully i will have a fully equiped ceramic studio on site also before the end of 2011. I am currently studying spanish and would like very much to develope my language skill, i can read spanish better than i can speak it, having someone to practice with eso seria fantastico.!!Language exchange is one of my main attractions for hosting. Gracias. Maria.

We are a campground and hostel. We are looking for responsible volunteers to help farm, start an organic farm, assist with selling products, and perhaps with the campground and hostel. We like natural products and are open to suggestions, thoughts and ideas. We do not have alot of money and need as much help as we can get.
