Description
Hello my dears!
My family and I run a "biodiversity farm" on our homestead - so we manage our land in a traditional way to conserve species rich grasslands with flowers and red list species like different kinds of butterflies or the wartbiter. Furthermore we breed mostly old domestic animals of the red list of endangered breeds (like Coburger Fuchsschafe, Pfauenziegen and Fränkische Landgänse) - additionally we now host 2 miniature zebus :)
We currently have projects going on in renovating old farm buildings from the early 20th century. In the long-run there shall be apartments for eco-tourists. We run our farm out of conviction for biodiversity, not for profit.

Hallo ihr Lieben!
Meine Familie und ich lebt auf einem kleinen Bio-Bauernhof im Frankenwald, in idyllischer Einzellage. Wir bewirtschaften unseren Nebenerwerbsbauernhof in viel Handarbeit. Dabei können wir Hilfe immer gut gebrauchen!
Unser Hof ist sehr vielfältig - von Waldarbeit über Gartenarbeit hin zur Versorgung unserer vielen verschiedenen Tiere (Zebus, Schafe, Ziegen, Hühner, Gänse, Enten etc) gibt es ganz viele verschiedenen Tätigkeiten.
Die meisten unserer Tiere gehören zu selten, alten Nutztierrassen, die wir erhalten möchten.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our farm is the meeting point of different cultures. We regularly have people from all continents here. I've traveled a lot myself, and having a campfire always offers good opportunities to share one's own experiences. We are happy to share knowledge about traditional organic farming and nature and species conservation. You will learn about animals, forestry, landscape management and biodiversity.

Unser Hof ist Treffpunkt verschiedener Kulturen. Wir haben regelmäßig Leute von allen Kontinenten hier. Ich selbst bin viel gereist, und bei einem Lagerfeuer bieten sich immer gute Möglichkeiten die eigenen Erfahrungen auszutauschen.
Help
We would really appreciate help in the farm tasks like taking care of our animals, but also in forestry (reshaping our forest to a great habitat) and in renovating the buildings.

Uns ist viel geholfen, wenn ihr bei der täglichen Versorgung der Tiere mitanpackt. Außerdem sind helfende Hände bei der Garten - und Hausarbeit eine große Unterstützung. Aktuell renovieren wir ein altes Bauernhaus und bräuchten hier handwerkliche Unterstützung.
