Description
We fell in love with this traditional Hungarian farm house, a Tanya. As Swiss this arrea held a special fascination for us in the midst of the Hungarian lowlands between the Tisza and the Danube rivers.
We created our self-sufficient home according to traditional construction methods using mud bricks, some recycled and some we made ourselves. Over time, sheep, chickens, rabbits, dogs, cats and goats. Our two lively girls made our family complete. This landscape with its vastness, peace, simplicity -is how we want to live...

I stayed a week at the farm of Martin and Annatina in June. My dog and I felt immediately very welcomed by the family. Growing up in big cities I was always very curious how farm life is like. I can say it is simple but a lot of work. But at their farm there was so much life and joy being surrounded by nature and all the animals.

Martin and Annatina are the most generous, fun, patient, and accommodating hosts. I learnt so much from them during my stay at their lovely home and sheep farm.

We spent 8 days with Martin and learned so much from him. It was our first experience as workaways AND first stay of our life in a farm, but we were really determined to learn from him. He is super patient, and trusted us easily to do the daily tasks. Above all, he has a great sense of humour, and kept smiling even if we had so many questions 😅… read more

It was my first workaway, and what an incredible experience: I stayed three weeks at Birka Farm, taking care of the sheep (beautiful morning walks with the flock to feed the sheep in meadows), building a new clay barn (listening to Pink Floyd's The Wall of course), and helping with all the other tasks of the farm and the house.
