Beschreibung
We – that’s me, Eva and my extended family which including several people living on the farm and my two little sons Elliot and Robin. I said goodbye to computer life and my previous fancy climate NGO job to make a real local difference at the family farm where I grew up.
Our goal is to become a self-sufficient farm while enjoying a lovely vibe, working with nice people, and have fun. We love to feed ourselves and offer healthy organic food to locals and our guests. Our farm has a large existing infrastructure with many buildings and equipment (it is 26 hectars, including 10 hectars of forest). In 2019 have renovated the place to offer farm accommodation in the lovely salzburg lake district, where we are located. In total, we can host more than 20 guests. We have a seminar room and provide catering with own produce in our existing farm tavern. This year is our 4th year of market gardening with 2.000m2 including a caterpillar tunnel and a greenhouse and we have started to sell our produce in our new little shop which is open on Fridays and we deliver to local restaurants and a CSA. We also open our restaurant every Friday from July-Octboer, have an orchard, a orchard nursery and animals: 350 chickens, several lovely sheep and 2 naughty donkeys. In addition to our chickens, we have a road-side "egg-mobile" with a couple of chickens and a self-service egg machine.
We live in the midst of a very traditional surrounding but have traveled for much of our (previous) lives. The new challenge is to continue traveling and meeting interesting people without moving around :).
There is always a nice international atmosphere, a good laugh and a lovely meal (from our fresh produce, yum).
For the moment, I am particularly looking for following positions:
1) a couple to move to the farm for a longer period with "partner" quality to manage the market garden and daily tasks related to animal care and the bed and breakfast. I can offer a lovely fully equipped apartment from February 2026 onwards. Until then the accommodation in the large holiday farm house are available. For this position existing knowledge of the Fortier market gardening school - or at least passion and interest - or knowledge of vegetable farming is required. We are in the process of setting up training programs for people interested in starting up a farm and running a market garden so interest in working and teaching people is also required.
2) For the autumn season I am still looking for 1-2 people to help close down the market garden and prepare and plant for winter
3) For the period October/November-February/March I am looking for a person to live at the farm to help with 2-3 days preparing breakfasts, looking after the place, checking in guests etc.
4) I am also looking for a dedicated support for my private family live and kids - this position can be combined with gardening or can be solely focused on my kids (6 and 9) and of course my animals :).
I am always looking for motivated helpers with less experience as well.
We offer a competitive salary according to Austrian standards.

I arrived just at the beggining of the season and stayed for 6 weeks so it was a lot of things to do. At the beginning I was a little surprised because I expected it to be more chilling, then I learnt that in the countryside there are some forces (mainly the sun or the rain) that can make things more… read more
