Description
I am a biologist, have a husband (Spanish) and a 20 year old daughter (she has a gap year and is planning her future).
On the 1 hectare farm I have five donkeys, two horses, ducks and chickens.
The village of Rötlein is located in Hohenlohe near Dinkelsbühl and Rothenburg ob der Tauber in a state-approved local recreation area with countless ponds. There are many mills, farms and interesting people here.
From February we will start a larger project and convert a barn. There is a lot to do here. We are looking for a man with manual skills.
You enjoy assembling furniture, helping with wallpapering, cutting wood, laying pipes, laying cables without connecting (just the preparatory work for the electrician) and repairing walls.
We can offer a room in our guest apartment. When spring begins, a second space is available in the camp van. It's even big enough for two people who get along well.
I am also always looking for helpers who have manual skills, enjoy gardening, want to take responsibility for the animals, are creative, hike, cook, do crafts and paint.
The main tasks will be: cooking, painting furniture, repairing, gardening, cleaning, feeding animals and cleaning the stables.
The tasks and working hours can be agreed individually.
Ich bin Biologin, habe einen Ehemann (Spanier) und eine 19-jährige Tochter (sie macht ein freies Jahr und plant ihre Zukunft).
Auf dem 1 Hektar großen Bauernhof habe ich fünf Esel, zwei Pferde, Enten und Hühner.
Das Dorf Rötlein liegt in Hohenlohe nahe Dinkelsbühl und Rothenburg ob der Tauber in einem staatlich anerkannten Naherholungsgebiet mit unzähligen Teichen. Hier gibt es viele Mühlen, Bauernhöfe und interessante Menschen.
Ab Februar werden wir ein größeres Projekt starten und eine Scheune umbauen. Hier gibt es viel zu tun. Wir suchen einen Mann mit handwerklichen Fähigkeiten.
Du hast Freude daran, Möbel zusammenzubauen, beim Tapezieren zu helfen, Holz zu schneiden, Rohre zu verlegen, Kabel zu verlegen ohne Anschließen (nur die Vorarbeiten für den Elektriker) und Wände zu reparieren.
Wir können ein Zimmer in unserer Gästewohnung anbieten. Wenn der Frühling beginnt, steht im Campingbus ein zweiter Platz zur Verfügung. Es ist sogar groß genug für zwei Personen, die gut miteinander auskommen.
Außerdem suche ich jederzeit Helfer, welche handwerkliche Fähigkeiten haben, gerne Gartenarbeit verrichten, Verantwortung für die Tiere übernehmen wollen, kreativ sind, wandern, kochen, basteln und malern.
Die Hauptaufgaben werden sein: Kochen, Möbel anstreichen, Reparieren, Gartenarbeit, Putzen, Tierfütterung und Stallreinigung.
Die Aufgaben und Arbeitszeiten können individuell vereinbart werden.Types of help and learning opportunities

We are a fun family that speaks German, English and Spanish. We love to eat and love to taste dishes from all nations. When eating, it is pleasant to talk about the habits and customs. We live 8 km from the most beautiful old town in Germany, Dinkelsbühl, and 35 km from Rothenburg ob der Tauber. We live in a state-approved local recreation area with countless ponds. The nature and landscape is very idyllic and special. Our farm is in a village with about 300 inhabitants. Nevertheless, it is only 3 km to the discounter. We are happy to go on excursions in the area together. In summer there is a nice bathing area in the area. You have the opportunity to go on donkey hikes for several days. In summer there is a beautiful bathing lake in the area.

What else ...
My day starts between 7 and 7:30 am with animal care and some work outside. Then I have breakfast at 9.30 am and from 10 am until 12:30 pm I have to do office stuff (but I am always available). Lunch varies in the time from 12:30 to 14:00 and depends on the daily routine.
Dinner is between 19 and 20 h after feeding animals.
At the moment I am planning to create the barn as a nice place to be. You are invited to bring some good ideas.
We can also lend bicycles. A bathing lake is nearby.
I would be happy to recommend a few cultural cities that can be reached by bus.
I would be happy to pick you up from Crailsheim train station.

Dann frühstücke ich um 9.30 Uhr und von 10.00 bis 12.30 Uhr muss ich Bürokram erledigen (ich bin aber immer erreichbar). Das Mittagessen variiert in der Zeit von 12:30 bis 14:00 Uhr und richtet sich nach dem Tagesablauf.
Das Abendessen findet zwischen 19 und 20 Uhr nach der Fütterung der Tiere statt.
