Welcome to our place!
It is more than just a place where we live – it is our passion and our home. In 2006, my family and I moved here from Switzerland to create this wonderful farm. Situated on our 5 hectares of land in the breathtaking surroundings of Illmensee, Judentenberg, near the Pfrunger-Burgweiler Ried and Lake Constance, we have crafted a place that we nurture with heart and enthusiasm.
As enthusiastic riders and nature lovers, our goal is to harmonize animals and nature. Our horses reside in an open stable, allowing them to move freely and granting them access to spacious pastures. We take pride in being a certified organic farm, where animal welfare is central, and thus, we let all our animals roam freely except for the horses and our dog. Our horses are not just companions; they are our friends and mentors. We warmly invite you to become a part of this special community.
A stay at here offers you the opportunity to savor and experience life in the countryside to the fullest. Apart from riding, our farm offers a wide range of activities, such as hiking in the Pfrunger-Burgweiler Ried, cycling, swimming in Lake Illmensee or Lake Ruschweiler, slacklining, or a trip to Lake Constance, and much more. Our farm is a place of friendship, connection, and shared learning.
We firmly believe that humans and animals can coexist in harmony, and our farm is a testament to that. We are thrilled to welcome you to our whole family and share with you the beauty of these special beings and nature. Let yourself be enchanted by the magic of this place and experience an unforgettable time with us.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
The farm is a place full of life, encounters and shared experiences. We attach great importance to cultural exchange, shared learning and shared experiences.
Life on the farm offers numerous opportunities to learn practical skills and gain new experiences. You can learn how to handle horses, ducks, chickens and other animals. If you already know how to ride, there are often opportunities to ride yourself in the riding hall or in the wide meadows and fields. You can also practice and improve your ground work.
Please note that this should be arranged in advance, as our horses are also available for riding lessons and partners.
In summer, barbecue evenings or cozy hours around the campfire invite you to enjoy the fantastic starry sky. Together we process the farm's harvest into juices, jams, syrups or apple juice so that we can enjoy the delicious products all year round. Apple juice and other homemade treats are always available here and contribute to the special taste of country life.

What we are looking for:
We welcome travel-loving, nature-loving people who are good with animals and not afraid of physically demanding work. Our work requires commitment and teamwork to keep the farm running smoothly.
Work to be done:
In the mornings and evenings, the animals must be cared for, which includes mucking out the barn, letting the animals out or bringing them into the barn, and feeding them.
In addition, the pastures and large areas need to be maintained or mowed. There are always repairs to the fence or house, the garden should be maintained and plowed, bushes trimmed, weeds pulled, wood chopped or taken from the forest, the barn and the house need to be painted from time to time and much more
In addition, apples, berries or vegetables need to be harvested. The work varies and always adapts somewhat to the season.
We are looking for motivated people who are willing to take on these tasks and become part of our community. If you love nature, enjoy working outdoors, and have a knack for animal care, you've come to the right place.

Alojamiento
During your stay with us, you will be accommodated in our house and will have your own room. Your room is well equipped with a desk and dresser. Our house is spread over three floors, and each floor has a bathroom. There are even two bathrooms to choose from on the second floor, so you can pick the one you like best.
The kitchen is located on the lower floor and is at your free disposal. We like to offer breakfast and dinner. For lunch, everyone is looking for himself, depending on his needs and time. However, our meal times are often flexible and can vary depending on our daily schedule. In our family, we take turns cooking, so each of us has the opportunity to show off our culinary skills. We always coordinate and make sure delicious food is provided.
We want to make sure you feel right at home and look forward to welcoming you.

Our family:
Our farm is not only our home, but also a place where our family comes together, works and spends time together. It is not only a place to learn and work, but also a home for people and animals, which captivates with its special atmosphere and the warm community between all living beings. It won't take you long to be captivated by this atmosphere. If you can imagine becoming part of it, we look forward to getting to know you and discovering the joys of country life together.
Although my children have now mostly moved out and only come by occasionally, we want to maintain the lively atmosphere of the farm. That's why we are setting up a shared flat for which we are still looking for flatmates who want to integrate into the farm community on a permanent basis. At the same time, we would also like to continue to welcome Workaways, as we have only had good experiences with this great program so far and really appreciate the exchange with new people.
About me Rahel
I am a trained horse trainer, riding instructor, and certified gestalt therapist. My passion lies in the connection between humans and horses, especially in equine-assisted coaching. Through my work, I aim to teach people not only how to ride but also to foster emotional connections and facilitate personal growth:
Location and Accessibility:
The Place is situated in a secluded natural setting, with the nearest store approximately 4 kilometers away. If you'd like to do some shopping, feel free to jot down a list, and we'll be happy to pick up everything for you.
The closest bus stop is about 2 kilometers away, but there's no need to worry – we typically have someone available who can give you a ride to or from the bus stop if the weather isn't suitable for biking. We are a friendly and helpful community that ensures you feel comfortable and well taken care of.
From time to time we also have children's camps and are always looking for motivated people who are good with children or can teach English. However, the week includes more than 4 hours per day and should be negotiated outside of Workaway. If you are interested, please leave a message.

Where does one begin? There is such a positive experience to recount, but I shall try to keep it brief.
To give some context to my experience, I am a 29 year old male from New Zealand who generally likes being active, fixing things, and cooking / baking.

She was always very helpful and did her job very well. Lucie was interested in working together and in cultural exchange.
We got to know her as a very communicative and interested young person.
We would recommend Lucie at any time and were very happy to have her with us.
All the best Lucie for your life.

The help is simple and relaxing. The horses are as sweet as the cats. Rahel's is a perfect host, calm, funny and interesting. Her kids are also a lot of fun. I hope to come back one day.
Thank you very much!
