My experience at Baiereck was an incredibly positive one that left a lasting impression on me. I was welcomed very warmly by Gudrun and Michael, and I was lucky that Carmen and Manuka also stayed there at the same time. Their home is like a peaceful refuge, where you can contribute in little ways to the upkeep of the household, animals and garden,

I really enjoyed foraging for wild herbs with Carmen, learning about their properties and German names, and subsequently preparing dried teas, or elderflower cordial for winter. I worked on the Benje's Hedge, where I collected branches and intertwined them to create a natural fence. I enjoyed caring for all the animals, who are so lovable. There is also great habitat for wildlife around the house, and I saw lots of newts, a slowworm, and squirrels. I loved the slower pace of life, where warm connection, meaningful conversation, and kindness was really valued. I was inspired by all their efforts towards caring for the environment; it really showed me how a household can implement eco-friendly habits. I found Gudrun and Carmen very interesting and inspirational women, who are so knowledgeable, caring and passionate about nature, animals, and music. I really appreciated how I was encouraged to try things and be creative - Carmen showed me how to use a drill, and let me paint a worm farm box, and Gudrun inspired me to play the violin again, and introduced me to a more holistic way of horse riding. I really enjoyed the cosy evenings filled with conversation and competitive card games, where Michael and Manuka would sing and play piano.
It was a great place to practice German, everyone is patient and willing to explain complicated German grammar. I even learned some Schwäbisch!
I feel very grateful for my experience and can't wait to return.Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Laura)
Laura shared our life with us on our little farm for several weeks and brought her sensitivity, thoughtfullness and deep connection to nature to this place. Her knowledge about animals is impressive and we gained a new depth of understanding of and appreciation for amphibians.
Laura helped to build and decorate a worm farm which is a wonderful new

Our Benjes hedge is a big and ongoing project which was Laura's favorite task and which she extended a lot during her stay.
It was a great pleasure having Laura stay with us and we hold her cordial and open minding of being in our memory.
We hope her path will lead her back to Baiereck once again.

Gudrun and Michael have a very special way of hosting at their little farm in Uhingen. I was welcomed not only into their home but right into their family.

Michael is always working behind the scenes (chopping wood, lighting the stove, providing pertinent scientific information or serenading with the piano) to keep everything running smoothly. As a workawayer, I was given a great variety of tasks to choose from, and as a result was neither bored nor overworked, a perfect medium.
Their home sits on one side of a valley, and the uppermost fields overlook the whole of the little town below them. I spent many precious hours clipping, cutting, twisting, chopping, digging, and stacking, while enjoying this view and listening to the church bell count the time as it went by.
It would be rude to exclude the other important members of the family; the chickens, goose, cats, horses, donkey, dog, and especially the three goats who made me feel so very loved while working each morning and evening. I treasure the memories I have of this place with my gracious hosts and hope I can return someday soon.Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

The list would be very long if I wanted to write down all of Kiana's activities. They range from household chores to animal care and garden design.

Her expertise in handling and caring for them was a great asset to our farm. We look back with gratitude on our time with Kiana and wish her a wealth of experiences on her journey.

My time was nothing short of magical.
The area is heaven for me, being out in the beautiful nature with incredible animals and humans.

Michael is a funny caring person who was always ready to help if I had a question.

Oh and the house is simply magnificent!
I will surely miss all the animals.
Sending lots of love, I look forward to meeting you again.
I had a wonderful and peaceful time with Gudrun and Michael.
They made me feel welcome from the start and helped me a lot with my German. Their farm is beautiful with so many cuddly animals, it was a great and rewarding experience to care for them! I was able to horse ride and go on amazing walks with their dog.
Gudrun and Michael really want

They encouraged me to try new things and it helped with my confidence. They are caring and always checked how I was doing or how I was finding the work. I am very greatful to have met them for a perfect first workaway experience, I couldn't have asked for a better one.
I can't recommend them enough and I would gladly go back there!
We found Heolise to be interested and open from the very beginning.
This applied to work processes, which she quickly mastered, as well as her
openness in conversations.
Heloise has transformed an old wooden frame into a piece of jewelry for
our living room with great care. In general, her sensitive empathy
and reliability has often proved

animals - whether large animals such as horses and donkeys or our geese.
Not least when training our adventurous goats.
Heloise also spoiled us with vegetarian meals and her help in the
kitchen and household.
As a choirmaster, I benefited from numerous musical impulses that I was
able to put into practice directly in my youth choir.
I would definitely like to mention Heloise's piano playing, which
sensitively made our house vibrate and resonate.
We look back on our time with Heloise with riches and gifts and thank
her from the bottom of our hearts for her presence and work,

What a gift that Alex was with us. His actions were always focused and efficient. So many projects were tackled and completed on our small farm that we only dreamed of. He also dared to take on challenging, tedious or difficult tasks.
Alex loved variety. He worked on the daily barn chores as well as sanding down our wooden floor, laying a

Bushes were set with great care, and he efficiently protected the young tree from our goat. Our woodshed is structured and ordered by his doing.
As clear and focused as Alex was in his work, so was his communication, coupled with kindness and understanding.
Another outstanding quality is his absolute reliability, which makes independent work and teamwork possible.
Soon he will be with us again for a short time. We are very much looking forward to it, knowing that we can rely on Alex.

I enjoyed very much all the time that I spent in Gudrun and Michael's full of atmosphere old house.

The same stays true for

Their little village is neatly tucked between hills and forests, and by train or by bicycle many other villages and towns can be easily reached and explored. All in one: a first class experience, that I highly recommend!

When I imagine a relaxed, happy and effective collaboration, Cian comes to mind. Always ready to try something new, yet using tried and tested skills.
For example, Cian has shown himself to be a tireless helper when it comes to sawing wood and a solid worker when it comes to laying pavement slabs.
Finally, we have a beautifully walkable path -

Always ready to lend a hand, even when picking up a washing machine.
How happy we are to find our many music books, organised by Cian, on the shelf.
How fondly we remember many hours of making music together with him or Cian's ride, during which he taught me an Irish song.
It was delightful to discuss many topics with him and to glimpse wisdom in the process.
Cian spoiled us with three cakes, but above all with his open and always friendly manner. We will miss him again and again.

I spent 3.5 weeks with Michael and Gudrun in their beautiful corner of Germany and had a fantastic experience. The farm is so peaceful and quiet, with fields and forests all around and a huge number of animals, each with their own lovely personalities. Most of my work was done outside, in tasks like paving a new path, cutting hedges and sawing

Where Gudrun and Michael are concerned, all I can say is that it was a privilege: a privilege to have met them, to have spent time with them and to have been welcomed into their home and allowed share in their lives. The time we spent over mealtime conversations and group music sessions it what I cherish most from my stay. This is an exceptional Workaway opportunity, one that'll always be very special to me, and I couldn't rate it highly enough.Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

It‘s difficult to describe my experience staying at Gudrun and Michael‘s home. At least you have to visit it yourself to understand how extraordinary this place and it’s inhabitants are.
When I firstly arrived, Gudrun and Michael welcomed me quite warmly. Since then, I returned twice and each time, one of them or both picked me up from the train

Gudrun and Michael had been very thankful for everything I did. So it had been even more fun, because I could make them happy with my work ;).
Independent from my daily tasks I enjoyed to just be there, watching the animals with there different characters, going for a walk in the beautiful forested hills with Kalle, the dog, or playing the piano, whenever I wanted to.
I still miss the breakfast with Gudrun, which always had been quite unique and our long and deep conversations. But these are only few of the many details, which create the daily life in Baiereck, that I love so much by now. I highly recommend this place. Thank you so much both of you.Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Carina quickly recognised the needs in the yard and garden and so she lent a hand, whether it was the wild rose hedge that she planted, the garden path that she resurfaced and protected from chickens, or tidying up in front of the barn.

What a gift it was to have two working hands here for five months! They were Carmen's hands who worked their magic and suddenly transformed what was there of our garden into a colourful jewel with a herb spiral and a flower bed. Carmen created masterpieces out of almost nothing. How relieved I was when I came home tired after work and was

She will be dearly missed.

I arrived at Michael and Gudrun's place a day after Easter - and stayed for 5 months! It felt still very wintery - somewhat reflecting my inner state at the time - but spring was definitely in the air. Gudrun and Michael's ability to create a space for the unfolding of the inner treasures of people, animals and plants, took me on a wonderful
… read more journey of learning and healing. I deeply appreciate their generosity of heart, thoughtfulness, openmindedness, wonderful humour, unconditional love and tolerance which has made their home become my home and their family mine.
There are a million ways to contribute to life on this farm - something for everyone! For me, connecting with the land through setting up a vegetable, herb and flower garden was a perfect start. There is plenty of space to take initiative as a need becomes obvious or a creative impulse arises., while also chipping away on the ' magic pudding job list' (which keeps refilling itself :grin:). So I found myself having fun planting, harvesting and preserving or cooking / baking with produce from the garden, digging out wayward blackberries, reorganising various storage rooms, painting window frames, pruning, weeding, caring for the animals, little artistic projects like weaving a life-willow-throne from a coppiced willow, and of course helping with the daily household chores.
My relationship with domesticated animals has changed a lot through observing Gudrun's way of communicating with them. Her deep respect for and insight into the being of the animal develops a great trust between them. Her contact is gentle and intuitive and it is inspiring to see e.g. the horses carrying her and listening to her without the use of a bit, whip or kick, but guided by thought, a gentle sound or tiny movement. I am touched by the love and healing these animals offer to all who enter this property.
I observe the same respect, spaciousness and care in Gudrun's work with the children who come for music or riding lessons, which they do with great joy. Two of my highlights were helping with the wilderness youth camp and the youth recorder retreat. A true delight!
Beside various projects we enjoy making music together, playing games, having a good laugh, meaningful conversations and of course time for one's own endeavors.
I am deeply greatful for these past 5 months here and leave transformed, enriched and with amazing new friends.
Dear Michael and Gudrun, you truly live 'love in action'. May your home continue to be a refuge which nourishes you as much as those who have the pleasure to share your home for some time. Thank you so much for your ongoing friendship!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.
