Description
I'm a mother of 4 kids at the age between 4 and 13 years. We live ecologically and vegetarian / vegan. There are about 50 animals. The animals (mainly from animal shelter) are kept humanely and have their use in animal-assisted area for seniors, people with disabilities and children. The farm and its offerings is still under construction, but there is always plenty to do in animal care and around the yard and in the house, there is much to doing new and beautiful. Because our house is old and we lived there since July 2015.
Ich bin eine Mutter von 4 Kindern zwischen 4 und 13 Jahren. Wir leben ökologisch sowie vegetarisch/vegan. Zu uns gehören noch ca. 50 Tiere. Die Tiere (hauptsächlich aus dem Tierschutz) werden artgerecht gehalten und haben ihren Einsatz im tiergestützten Bereich für Senioren, Menschen mit Behinderung und Kinder. Der Hof und seine Angebote ist erst im Aufbau, aber es gibt immer genug zu tun in der Tierversorgung, Tierbetreuung und rund um den Hof sowie im Haus, was sehr renovierungsbedürftig ist. Auf unserem Hof leben wir erst seit Juli 2015 und er ist sehr alt.

The “wendland” is quite famous for its peculiarity. Many people (artist, artisans, craftspeople, families with alternative lifestyle) moved here to support the anti-nuclear-movement since the 1980´s. We think it´s a very interesting area with many cultural activities and a keen sense of community. To get an impression check out the “kulturelle-landpartie” or “republik-freies-wendland” or "willkomen-im-wendland" in the net…
