Description
Hi everybody we are a family of 5 members. All the kids moved out so at the moment it's just my husband Theo and me Adi living in an old house close to Bischofszell. We are both retired but we still have lots of work to do around or in the house. For this reason we are looking for some help =)
We grow our own biological vegetables from the seed to the end product. We are gardening with micro organism and our selfmade bokashi. From Spring to autum we have lots of work outside of the house which means: Lots of Gardening, cleaning, Plants care
Also we have an appartement and a Jurt which we rent to guests. So we need also help with cleaning and washing bed covers.
We need also help to renovate one of our Jurts.
It will help us if you are a flexible person. When it is raining we c'ant work outside. Then we will do somthing in the house.
For example cleaning the house, cleaning or painting windows ect.
Somtimes we are cooking together, or prepaire to conservate our vegetable.
We are openmind people.
