Description
We are a cooperative, transforming a 400+ year old farm between Münster (Germany) and Enschede (NL) to a Coworking Space and realising various other ideas and projects in the areas of digitalisation, sustainability and agriculture. Currently, we are mainly focussing on creating a Coworking-Space out of an old barn and look for people who can help us with that.
Our farm is located in the middle of nowhere in nature, but at the same time busy with lots of people, so there is room and space for yourself but also people to connect with, if you want.
We are living here with an international mix of 6-7 people: Maria (German, 62 years old), Evgeniya (Ukrainian, 38) Stass (Ukrainian, 8), Hendirk (German, 35) and Maria Eugenia, who is called "Lala" by everyone (Spanish, 31), Patric (46), Lars, (26) - Lars & Patric are „Zimmermänner“ who help us as workawayers. In addition to them, many visitors are coming to the farm, may it be for helping (the cooperative now has a total of 22 people) or just for visiting and having a coffe.
We do have a big house with free rooms you could take (shared bathrooms and kitchen) and campers or caravans are also welcome.
