    Beschreibung

    Hello,
    I'm Marie (31) and I live with my boyfriend Jakob (33) and our three children (2-years-old twins and a 4,5-years-old) in Sommersdorf in beautiful Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in northern Germany.
    The house we live in has not yet been fully developed and is intended to become a cooperative housing project. But until now we still live there alone, with ducks and sometimes a few goats. There is a lot of space around it, which we use in a variety of ways. We have a self-sufficient vegetable garden and an meadow with apple and other fruit trees. We make our own juice, pickles, tomato sauce and a lot more.
    Our village is located on Kummerower See, where you can go for a walk or swim. There are also many events and beautiful places to discover in the area in summer. The nearest supermarket is 12 km away in the city. A car is available or you can go by bike as well.

    Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

    We love growing, harvesting and processing vegetables together with others. We can exchange knowledge, experiences and recipes and experiment and develop ideas together. As a carpenter, Jakob enjoys sharing his knowledge about construction and sustainable raw materials and also enjoys learning new methods. Marie likes language, likes to help with learning German and would like to brush up on her English or Spanish. We want our children to get to know many different people and different cultures.

    Arbeit

    Mainly we are looking for support in the garden and with processing the vegetables (between April and October). Experienced people can help with the expansion of the building - just ask for that, we can plan this more less spontaneously if someone likes to come.
    Sometimes we can also need help with making our firewood. So the task would be split, saw and stack the wood. For that we looking for somebody with experience in this work, including knowing the Maschinen. Just ask if it’s the time for that right now.
    Also we could have some help with operating a machine that cracks walnuts. This is mainly a task at our place in winter.

    We aren’t looking for professionals, but we expect that you can work by yourself, see by your own if there is something to do and take the initiative. We like people with whom we get along well and come sit together sometimes, but also we need time for ourselves as a family.
    You’ll have your ihn outdoor bath and kitchen so that everyone has his own space, but we also like to eat together one or two times a day.
    Are you are motivated, communicative, open-minded? Do you enjoy being outside and like it improvised and simple? Contact us!
