Description
My two unschooling girls (2009/2011) my parents, two friends and i live on a beautiful, organic farm in Gresten-Land, Lower Austria. We are in the beginnig to start a small housinggroup/tinyhous area we call it, the self-discovery oasis. ❤️A longer stay of a few months would be great but a minimum stay of 3 weeks are also ok. At the moment we have smal cows and calves, a pony, two donkeys, horses, cats and chicken, a fantastic view, very great hicking trails,... . We produce apple juice, liqueur, herbal salt, calendula oil, most, edelbrände, plants... My parents gave the farm to my sister and me in 2018. Since september 2019 they live nearby in a small house they've build. We need help from now on, for our daily work in the house, helps in the garden, for clear up the farm, help with little things around the house, help in the permaculture garden starting in february. We all want to learn english better. We would prefer women or couples. We eat everything what we can produce on our farm, or from regional farms arround us.

Learn german and about our little village. You only have to ask. :-)

Curenntly we need help from now on. We are looking only for women or a couple who speaks german or very good english. Your daily tasks help in the household, in the garden, plant some plants, watering young plants, take care of our animals. In spring plant many of bushes and trees.
We usually have a lot of varied work.
From clean out to paint walls,...
You can choose for yourself, if you want to help 3-4 hours every day or 5 hours 5 days a week, (25 hours a week) if you do the most of the help in the morning or in the afternoon... we alwas talk before what is to do next.
i am a very appreciative person and am grateful for every helping hand.

You would have a smal beautiful room. If you want, you can sleep in the hay. You are welcome to eat in our kitchen and spent time with us. Our fridge is your fridge. We usually have lunch together and everybody eats dinner and have breakfast when they're hungry.
We have free wifi, we live on a little hill where you can skiing in winter. We have many animals to cuddle. Well trained dogs are welcome.
I can pick you up from the Busstation "Busbahnhof" in 3264 Gresten, Niederösterreich.
Bus station and shops are a 30 min walk from us.
From experience i only mention briefly that this is also about voluntary work and not only holidays. So please only report people who really want to help and are motivated! and we are at least almost always four of us sitting at the table, please respect if i also want to talk to my children. You can also talk to them, they are also there and are happy about exchange, please dont ignore them! If you didn't like teenagers, our home is the wrong place for you. If we are cooking and doing the dishes all together, it doesn't count as working hours.
And if you break something, you have to work it off.
What else ...
What we can't do is take you sightseeing with us all the time. Because we love it to relax at home and calm down from the working week.
You can take the bus or have a walk and have a look at all our wonderful places all around, by yourself. Ruin reinsberg, very beautyful river, wonderful nature wherever you go arround our farm.
