Descripción
After many years of living with guests from workaway I still wait for every new helper with great confidence: Interesting people from all over the world are enriching my life and help me with the work on the farm. A lot of them became friends and we still stay in touch. I could teach them how to live and work with horses, live out of the own garden and a lot of them tried the linedancing. They brought me the knowlegde about life in their country and I learned plenty of new recepies so I now have a special cookbook. I also met many super talented musicians, painters, and helpers with my computer tasks!
So if you look for a familylike place with an international touch (I speak german, english and french), and you are not allergic to dogs, cats, chicken, hay or horses in an amazing landscape and most beautiful sunrises you will be welcomed!

You will meet many people while living with us and following me around to the daily work, the special events and meet the riding clients. If you want you can learn a lot about vegetable gardening, international cooking, horses, and I speak german, english and french fluently. I am a line dance freak. You could learn more about your own capabilities by working with manual tools.

It was my first workaway, and it's one of the very unique experience. I love horses always but never been so close to them every day. They are really therapeutic beings and they read you so well without verbal language. Elke has been away for a week so me and another worker were enjoying the time on our own lol. Elke also taught me how to bake… read more

For my garden project she did add the artistic touch by making fantastic paintings, which will last for years. I hope Marina will come back one day when… read more

Elke picked us up from the station with a big smile and we instantly felt welcomed. It was a busy week as she needed to move to the new farm, so we did a lot of work moving furniture, building fences, and mixing concrete for the new horse watering stations. Elke made a big effort to include us in social activities, and we particularly enjoyed the… read more

Elke was kind enough to let us stay at her place even if it was only for few days. She's energetic, warm-hearted person and a great cook. The work is not hard and the company of horses makes it more enjoyable. She also gave us a lesson and allowed to ride a horse.
We wish you all the best for the future projects!!

I only visited for the weekend, and this was my first experience as a “work-awayer”. However, I felt very welcomed at Elke’s place and thoroughly enjoyed spending a few days on the farm. The people and the animals were lovely, and I had my first experience of line-dancing (a regular Friday-night event I believe).
