Description
Nestled just 30 minutes from Vienna, our lively home is a mosaic of life, hosting four people, three playful cats, a charming puppy named Snips (a beloved member since November 2023), a bustling flock of chickens, and our newest, joy-filled arrivals—our babies, born this February. 🐱🐶🐔👶
Situated on the edge of the suburbs, our home serves as a refuge dedicated to an alternative, sustainable lifestyle. With numerous ongoing projects and a kitchen that’s a hub of culinary creativity, we warmly invite others to join us on this unique journey. 🍲🌿
We offer a variety of special projects for those interested in making a meaningful impact, with a minimum stay of one week:
Immerse yourself in our garden’s diversity. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a novice, your efforts can help our garden reach new levels of beauty and biodiversity. 🌻👩🌾
Our aquaponics system is due for an upgrade. If you have experience or a keen interest in aquaponics, your contributions can significantly enhance our sustainable living practices. 🌱💧
Step into the delightful world of raising chickens. Your knowledge and enthusiasm will make our journey into poultry care a joyful learning experience for all. 🐥
As Snips enters her curious phase, constructing a secure, dog-proof fence becomes critical. If you’re handy with tools, your skills will help keep her safe and secure.
Join us in advancing our permaculture dreams. Your passion for sustainable gardening will help us cultivate a self-sustaining ecosystem for the future. 🍃🔄
Your skills and enthusiasm are essential as we embark on this exciting new chapter. Together, we can foster an environment of sustainability, community, and love. 🌍❤️
📞 Interested in contributing to these projects? Get in touch! We’re eager to welcome individuals who are ready to contribute their unique talents to our community and help us nurture a sustainable and joyful future. 💌🌿
