    Description

    Hello, we are Johannes and my daughter Frida. We live on a historic post office farm with 3 hectares of land near Regensburg. There's a nursery, a large garden, meadows, and woods. Our sheepdog Jimmy, horses, cats, and chickens also live here. In the nursery, we cultivate herbs, vegetables, tomatoes, and salads.
    I, Johannes, am a gardener, restaurateur, cook, traveler, and general handyman at home.
    So there's always plenty to do.
    We love culture, art, music and good food.
