    Description

    We are a small family with 3 hectares of vineyards, Heidschnucken sheep, Rex rabbit and a cat "Elvis". We live in a farmhouse not far from Zurich directly and very accessible by public transport on the outskirts of Winterthur. The family is interested in many things and just the 2015 and 2012 born daughters always at the top front. Music, culture in general, travel and language, sports and pleasures of all kinds are very important to us.

    Wir sind eine kleine Familie mit 3 Hektaren Reben, Heidschnucken Schafen, Rex Hasen und einem Kater "Elvis". Wir leben in einem Bauernhaus unmittelbar am Stadtrand von Winterthur unweit von Zürich und sehr gut mit dem öffentlichen Verkehr erschlossen. Die Familie ist vielseitig interessiert und gerade unsere 2012 und 2015 geborene Töchter immer an vorderster Front dabei. Musik, Kultur allgemein, Reisen und Sprache, Sport und Genüsse jeglicher Art sind uns sehr wichtig.

    Help

    We can imagine needing help almost everywhere. Above all, focussing on the vines. In the summer months the vines are maintained, the leaves trimmed, the new growth looped in the wire frame and unnecessary vegetation cleared away . We work with conviction by hand and waive larger machines. We also do without chemical pesticides and promote at all costs Biodiversity and soil type.

    Hilfe können wir uns fast überall vorstellen. Vor allem sind aber die Reben im Mittelpunkt. In den Sommermonaten werden die Reben gepflegt, das Laub getrimmt, der Neuzuwachs in den Drahtrahmen geschlauft und unnötige Triebe enfernt. Wir arbeiten aus Überzeugung mit der Hand und verzichten auf grössere Maschinen. Ebenfalls verzichten wir auf chemische Pestizide und fördern um jeden Preis die Biodyversität und Bodenaktivität.
