Description
On our small farm in the Prignitz between Hamburg and Berlin we grow vegetables, according to ecological principles, which we sell on the weekly market in Berlin. Our areas of cultivation are processed exclusively by hand and with a horse. We are a small family business, Micha (52), Ina (42) and the children 20 and 5 years old and need help in the garden from the end of March to the end of October, as well as around the house and farm. Berlin can be reached by train in an hour.
Fences also need to be built or repaired.
What is to be done here is gardening of any kind. So weeding weeds, cultivate tomato plants, reap ect.
We have enough to do, so that will definitely find something for everyone he likes to do :)
We look forward to helpers!!
Auf unserem kleinen Hof in der Prignitz zwischen Hamburg und Berlin bauen wir Gemüse an, nach ökologischen Prinzipien, welches wir auf dem Wochenmarkt in Berlin verkaufen. Unsere Anbauflächen werden ausschließlich per Hand und mit Pferd bearbeitet. Wir sind ein kleiner Familienbetrieb, Micha(52), Ina(42) und die Kinder 20 und 5 Jahre alt und benötigen in der Zeit von Ende März bis Ende Oktober helfende Hände im Garten, auf dem Acker sowie rund um Haus und Hof. Berlin ist mit dem Zug in einer Stunde zu erreichen.
Zäune müssen gebaut oder repariert werden.
Was hier immer zu tun ist, ist Gartenarbeit jeglicher Art. Also Unkraut jäten, Tomatenpflanzen pflegen, ernten ect.
Wir haben genug zu tun, so das sich bestimmt für jeden was findet was er gerne macht:)

If you're musically leaning or want to be, this would be a great place as well. Three meals everyday (I brought my own snacks… read more
