    Description

    My husband Bernd (55) and I (51) run a small cattle farm near Göttingen.
    When I first read about volunteering I was immediately interested. We used to have a house full of young people. Since two of our three daughters (28,27,19) have moved out I miss the hustle and bustle, the company and their helping hands.
    Edit6/2022
    We are now 62 and 59 and looking back at 11 years with great experiences with workaway!
    I neglected my workaway account due to health issues an then because of the Corona situation. That´s why my reply rate is low.

    During spring I can teach you to cook witn socalled "weeds", like nettles, goutweed, dandelion and so on.
    If you are interested in self-sufficiency, you may help with butchering chickens or pig.

    Help

    I am looking for helpers from mid-April till mid-May for planting and seeding vegetables and flowers for both, my self-service flower field and a vegetable field where I rent small allotments to other people

    During summer there will be weeding, harvesting and preserving fruits and vegetables, helping with .fencing, feeding, general farmwork or housework

    Besides, there is always something to do like tidying up sheds, cleaning, some painting and so on.

    In general, the work schedule depends on the weather, but no more than round about 25 hours/week.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The landscape here is very nice and there are paths for walking and cycling (a bike is provided).

    However, we live in a rural area and there are no shops and pubs within walking distance which is why I prefer hosting couples or friends to give boredom no chance.

    On Tuesdays my husband can take you to Göttingen, the nearest town, for sightseeing and shopping.
