Description
Hi all travelers!
We are a family of six and in summer we'll be seven! Our boy is 11, our big girl 9 years old and the twin girls are 4 years now. We are living on a beautiful little spot in the sunny south east of austria. The place is calm and can feel like little paradise...
SPRING AND SUMMER 2024...
... our projects are these days: renovating one room of the old house, preparing the court new, building a new circus wagon tiny house for our for-free-shop, building a sauna in the garden, which is also a tiny home with space to sleep in, planting our new veggie fields, building and preparing new nice spaces in the garden with outdoor bed, building a 4-children-karusell to make our little circus complete ;)
Our self-supply-garden is a big thing that is growing every year. more veggies, more fields, more harvest.
We´d love to have some more hands for the garden work, preparing food, taking care of the animals and maybe spend time with the kids. Exspecially because of the new pregnancy, I always feel like minimum one hand to less...
After living 5 years in our self-build round wood-clay-house we bought now our own new paradise place. it is a old farm house with 1 ha beautiful space just next to the forest. we, our 3 cats, 5 ducks, and 13 chicken at the moment (can change very often ;) live here to learn mostly how to manage self sustainable living ;) our kids are at home free learning and experiencing with us.
We cook and sleep mostly outside, care for our plants in the garden, love the old apple- and nut-trees and eat rasberries and strawberries in the summer.
What we like also very much about the area is the open minded and friendly neighbourhood of this area in Südburgenland. People who want to escape city-life and and the system come here for more than 30 years, thats why nearly many neighbours are kind of old hippies with the same flow like us. That makes life here very easy and connected, everybody helps everybody with a smile..
Our future projects are making a swimming pond, planting more and more trees, rebuilding the round clay house on our new spot.
Feel free to share some time with us here and learn from each other!
