Description
Here at the farm we try to build the circle of the natural eco system. On 9.000 m² we plant Vegetables and Fruits for our own, friends and neighbors without any chemistry just with the power of nature. We have over 30 animals including Donkeys, Kängurus, a Dog, Sheeps, Goose, Rabbits, Pigs and Chickens, they all walk free around here. So you will have a lot of contact with them and get to know the beautiful carracter of each Animal :-) We are located near Berlin, in Petershagen-Eggersdorf (trainstation is Fredersdorf). We are only 2-3 People here, so we need the whole year some help ;-)
