Description
Hallo!
We are a little family community: in the main house we are Maren, Katha, daughter Mia, little daughter Cornelia and dog Ruby and the "facility manager" and father of the girls Ivo is living next door in the circus wagon . After traveling many parts of this earth we bought an old farmhouse in the south-east of Bavaria, pulled it down and started creating a new home made of straw, wood and cley. Here is also a lot of work waiting in the garden and our daughters and dog Ruby want to be entertaint all the time... We like to build up a small community here and we want to open this place for travelers like we have been for the last decade.
We are just getting started and we have a vision, so come around and help us realizing it!
See you :)

Help
Coming up tasks/work this spring:
Still taking care of the fruit trees ( apples ) - lop the trees (cut branches)
A hugh load of firewood arrived and need to be chopped and stored
We always need help with the daily chores, like cleaning and cooking together, beeing with the kids ... Due to our profession one of us stay at home with the kids , the dog and all the fun and work, while the other is working abroad. Help is very appriciated is this case. on top of that , there is always lots to do in the garden and for daily living.
In general our meals are vegetarian and we try to grow and produce at least parts of every meal by ourselfs... but it is important for us not to be docmatic in our believes (sometimes Pizza is perfect :) )!
And we defenitly need your helping hands to realize the big plan!!
We prefer people who can stay longer than 7 days and have a little experience in construction work, sustainable living and who can help and live quite independently.
