Description
Hi !
We are looking for some young people who like to help us on our organic farm.
WE means: My husband Max (34), me Julia (34), our 2 kids (4 and 2 years), my parents, Christa (64) and Günter (65) .
The farm is located in the Northeast of Bavaria, at the beautiful scenery of Fichtelgebirge. Bigger towns nearby are Rehau (3 km), Hof (15 km) and Bayreuth (60 km). On our organic farm we have 50 dairy cows, 100 hens two goats, one dog and some cats. We grow most of our own vegetables, do our own yogurt and our own granola. We are looking for people who like to help us during the year. But we don´t need any emloyes for the farmwork, just a little bit help with the housework with gardening and kids!
The kind of help we need depends on the season.
January - March: renovation work in the house and outdoor
April - June: taking care of the kids and helping with the housework
Juli - August: gardening and helping on the fields
September - October: gardening, taking care of the kids
November - December: renovation work in the house and outdoor
Of course, you will have your own room and your own bathroom (we only need to use the washing machine in your bathroom). You can always use a bike.
So, get in touch if interested. We are looking forward to get to know nice people who will support us for a certain time.
UPDATE: at the moment we want to renovate a room, so we need a craftsman or carpenter :)Types of help and learning opportunities
