Vom Workawayer (Amanda) für Host
Thanks Kerstin for hosting me at the farm for 2 weeks!
I was in Much in November and I helped prepair for winter with tasks like: weeding, trimming bushes, digging up trees, paint fences, help install fences and moving building materials to her dad's house where we also worked in his garden.
The days were very structured, working from morning
… read more until lunch, some free time and then I would cook and clean up in the evenings. The bedroom/ apartment was super big! It is part of the building next to Kerstin's house and it was super comfortable staying there!
I enjoyed my time and learnt a lot :) Kerstin has an amazing work ethic and I'm happy to have met her.
A small note for workawayers who consider going to the amazing farm in Much: don't base your horse expectations on the older feedback of previous guests. The circumstances have changed a bit since COVID. While there are still 2 of Kerstin's horses and horses belonging to someone else at the farm, the work is focused on the garden/house and there was limited interaction with the horses. Even though, my expectations were a bit different concerning the horses (my own fault) I really enjoyed my time in Much and I would totally recommend this workaway to everyone!
Vom Host für Workawayer (Beatriz)
Beatriz was a very good help. She worked independently and reliable and solved the tasks very well. I felt really sorry for her having the covid, but she took it quite easy and wasnt worried too much about it at all. Beatriz has a pleasant personality so we came along very well. I could profit from her knowledge about plants and making natural

I was last August in Kerstin place(sorry for the feedback delay) and stay around 5 weeks.
I got this bad luck of getting sick with Covid 2 days after arrival. Not big deal, but enough to leave my body feeling exhausted for 15 days.
She was very patient and flexible and not demanding at all. I moved to a separate apartment she has and I was working
… read more a few hours a day as I was feeling ready. The hot days in August didn't help neither!
I was mainly weeding and clearing horses crap, but also did some inside and outside cleaning, harvesting from bushes,trees or the garden or brushing the dogs.
We made jam with the fruits and we share some cooking and recipes.
I also learn to prune the roses in hers and his beautiful father's garden (I even got a tip from him 😄)
We were normally sharing a talk at dinner
Because of my covid situation plus studying at the same time, I didn't go around much in my free time until the very end that I made a few days trip out and she help with a lift to the airport or from train station.
All the best Kirsten!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Rosan)
Rosan was a great help in everything what was needed to be done. She managed all the tasks very well, reliable and selfresponsible and the results were always really good. She didnt mind the more heavy, physically work like shifting wood, carrying furniture, moving big stones, ect...Since she is an experienced rider for many years I could let ride

Rosan, I wish you all the best, a lot of good workaway experiences and of course I would appriciate if you would come back for another stay, when it fits in your plans.
Vom Workawayer (Rosan) für Host
I stayed with Kerstin for three weeks from the end of November, as my first workaway experience. Since it was the start of winter, most of the work had to do with preparing the garden and shed for winter. I have never done so much weeding in my life, but I could listen to audiobooks while working so it was never boring. With the really heavy
… read more things we always had help, so while it was sometimes heavy work, it was always manageable. Do be prepared to get your hands (and clothes) dirty. The dogs were extremely friendly and I will certainly miss them! In my free time, we almost always went for trips with the horses into the surrounding countryside. I had the chance to ride trusty old Shari many times, and Kerstin trusted me to go alone as well.
We shared many talks about anything and everything, and we have a lot of things in common ;) I also visited Bonn and Siegburg and the incredible Christmas markets there (they have a medieval market in Siegburg, complete with historic clothing and shows!).
It really feels like I have a new home where I can return whenever, and I might very well do so! Thanks Kerstin, for the great first workaway experience!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Guillermo)
Guille was a grandious help. Except of the daily, routine work, which he managed very well, he did a lot of manuel work, like electric installations, repairs, laying the floor, ect ..
He has experience and a good sense for horses and could care for the sick horses independently. We had long interesting talks about our travel experiences and our

Lovely experience in Köln, Germany. I came here with the expectations of disconnecting from the big cities, reconnect with animals and nature and the reality it was even better. I found in Kerstin a really good friend, we get on well from the first moment and have really interesting talks. The tasks were not difficult at all if you are willing to

Anita, you were a great help. You did all the the tasks very well. Especially the kitchenwork you managed easily and cooked always really good meals.

Thank you Kerstin!
The two weeks at the farm passed quickly. Kerstin's support, willingness to teach, her openess and our time together helped me a lot. I learned about a life on a farm, about horses and dogs, replanting :) and I even got to ride a very clever mare.

Karina was a great help. She got into the work easily and managed all her tasks very well.
She is experienced and confident with horses and dogs and has a good sensitivity for them. She picked up Natural horsemanship skills (7 games by Parelli) quite easily and exercised them independently. She is very interested in cooking and prepared really

I spent more than 3 weeks at Kerstin's place, and it was a wonderful experience. She is a really kind, opened, welcoming and laid-back person. The work was not hard (cleaning, walking with the dogs and horses, gardening, picking the berries,cooking) and she paid attention for the hours too. In the free time we went horse riding and had hours long

I really enjoyed my stay there and I hope one day I will be able to return :)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Bayrams)
Bayram was a great help. He did all the tasks very well and reliable. With his calm and relaxed manner, he was good with the animals. He is a real good cook and told me a few recepies. His German is really advanced and we had interesting conversations. Bayram, all the best for you and keep on practising horsebackriding!
Vom Host für Workawayer (Ludmila)
Ludmila war eine tolle Hilfe. Sie hat die Arbeiten hier sehr selbständig und sehr zuverlässig ausgeführt.
Wir haben uns gut verstanden und hatten interessante, bereichernde Gespräche unter anderem auch über unsere pädagogischen Berufe. Ludmilla hat ein sehr angenehmes Wesen und ist sehr hilfsbereit.
Jederzeit gerne wieder!!

I found Antonia very reliable and confident in fullfilling her tasks.
She is a very nice person with a balanced nature and a positive charisma.
So she has a good sense for animals and handles horses and dogs easily.
In addition she´s an excellent cook, quick and routined. Her meals always tasted very good and I really can say that she´s one of he

She also helped in her freetime, when help was needed and didn´t measured the working time.
We enjoyed talking during our mealtimes and had many good conversations.
Antonia, thanks a lot for your help and good work. All the best for you.

My experience here was beautiful!
I spent 2 weeks with Kerstin and her cats, dogs and horses and every day was a little adventure.
We went riding a lot and had a lot of fun together. Kerstin is a really kind and giving person, so welcoming and funny!
I really enjoyed having her company and even though she went away for two days I felt

We accomplished a lot in this 2 weeks (building a shelf, cleaning the garage ...) Kerstin is really hard working person but you won't have a lot of physical work here, instead you will spend your time walking the dogs, cleaning a bit and sharing laughter in the kitchen!
