Description
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LONG STAY HELPERS WANTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nature-loving people wanted to
Learn and experience how to provide for themselves in many fields by using self-sufficiency
I am looking to engage interested helpers, male or female, who want to and can be active on the farm at the beginning of the season.
It would be nice if you already have experience in garden work or mending of fences and are not averse to some physical work like cleaning the stables and sifting of compost. You might alternatively prefer to cook for our group and take care of the house work.
I am looking forward to hear from you;-))

I (Gabriele, 55) live on an idyllic and quiet organic farm (certified since 1985) which is located at the edge of woodland, with 8 hectares of meadows, permanent pastures and woods. We are in a triangle of Austria, near to Slovenia and Hungary.
There is a variety of animals that bustle about the farm. Besides chickens, ducks, sheep and goats, a few cows graze with their offspring on the pastures.
For self-sufficiency you will have the use of a large vegetable garden, a herb garden, fruit trees and vines. As there is no industry in the immediate vicinity a variety of wild herbs can be harvested.
There is a small joinery workshop on the farm, where you can make yourself useful if you are a joiner or carpenter. ;-))
Types of help and learning opportunities

I would like to pass on to you our decade of gained experience.
There is a copious library covering an all-round theme of agriculture at your disposal.
The gently hilly landscape with a moderate climate invites you to try a variety of bike tours and a large lake 4km away offers a welcome cooling off in summer.
If you like swimming, you will find Europe’s largest open air swimming pool with 23,000 square meters 12km away. You can also travel by canoe to Hungary on the close-by river and learn about the flora and fauna
Help
So what do we expect from you?
We would be grateful to get a helping hand in -:
*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️the house (cleaning and renovating)

*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️with the animals (feeding, watering, mucking-out in wintertime and nurturing them
and wherever something needs to be processed, repaired, built or renovated.
There is always something to do - collect herbs - repair and move grazing field fences - cut firewood and stack it - help with the hay harvest etc.
An animal-assisted therapy is in the planning for the long term future on the farm and we will need all available help in any form.

Verena spent only 10 days with us here, but she was a very fast learner.
She enabled me to have the long yearned for free weekend, while she looked after house, farm and animals in a most reliable way.
Her sunny character, her love of cooking and her independence in getting to know the region, was quickly appreciated by us.
We wish… read more

To start, our apologies for not writing this feedback sooner. Gabi's farm was a treasure in a beautiful part of Austria that we had never seen before. Gabi and Robert were very welcoming and we had some really interesting conversations. We really felt included in their lives for that short time, we met some great friends and shared experiences.… read more

Nikki and Robin were a wonderful enrichment and a beautiful experience.
They braved the hottest and sweltering days of the year, with temperatures of almost 38C on the farm. Despite the heat, we managed to cope with the most important everyday jobs before lunch with a combined effort.
Thank you for your great help! We also managed to find time… read more

Paul is a master in recycling of anything old made from wood or iron that one can find around a farm yard and makes them into imaginative useful everyday objects.
That is why lots of new things were created in the two rained-off weeks that Paul spent with us, with his great enthusiasm with the joinery machines. These articles will be of great use… read more

I have just returned from Australia and had the good fortune of being hosted by Gabriele. Her farm must be one of the prettiest places on earth. The love of her land and the care she gives to her animals certainly stands out. She also owns the prettiest wood cook stove I have ever seen and has certainly mastered the use of it. Thank you Gabriele

Vitali was a very pleasant fellow-lodger and helper and grand support. With his varied experience and competence he not only noticed all the necessary jobs and repairs to be done, executed them single handed, but also added to our enrichment with his great culinary skills.
It was a great pleasure to watch him handle the animals.
Vitali,… read more

Being with Gabi on her farm was a pleasure I can only recommend to anyone! I spent 2 weeks at her place in autumn and I had a wonderful time. Gabi is a very warm, caring, generous, and humorous person who owns my deepest respect for self-supporting herself on this big farm with so much energy and strength while also working. I felt at home from… read more

To have Wim on the farm was a great gift. His rich experience allowed him to see everything that had to be done and he was reliable and worked completely on his own, whether pruning trees, duties in the garden or with the animals. It was a pleasant experience and great help to have such a person as Wim here. we shared lots of laughter and… read more

The work with her… read more
