  Beschreibung

  We, Michèle (34 biologist / environmental education) and Philipp (32 career Firefighter and bicycle mechanic) bought an old farm near the German North Sea cost a few years ago.
  Our goal is, to get self-sufficient and build an oasis of biodiversity.
  We have already built a meadow orchard and build habitats for Insects and birds...
  Beside us there are two other people, 6 sheep, 5 chicken, 6 ducks and 3 cats living on our little farmstead.
  We live a Vegetarian / Vegan lifestyle, our animals are not slaughtered.
  
  We need help with:
  
  - Gardening
  - Renovating the house
  - Landscaping
  - feeding the animals
  - harvesting and conservating food (marmelade, pickles, vine, juice, herbs...)
  - precessing the wool of our sheep and felt it
  - implement projects like
  --- building a roof terrace on top of a shipping container
  --- building a clay pizza oven in the garden
  --- constructing a greenhouse from an old shipping container
  --- ...
  
  What we can offer:
  
  - We have a dedicated apartment for our guests.
  - if you have a camper van or caravan, we have a nice spot where you can stay and can provide electric power and water.
  
  What we can't/won't offer:
  
  - We do both work so we can't have all meals together, and we can't work together all the time
  - We don't want you to bring pets because we have had bad experiences (incompatibility with our animals) (maybe a cockatoo or goldfish would be okay :-p - please ask us in advance)
  - no kids under ~12 years (it's not that we don't like kids, but it didn't work well in the past)
  
  What we expect:
  
  - Open minded people regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, color of skin, origin ....
  - the ability to communication in english or german at least on a basic level.
  - ability and willingness to be and work on your own a part of the time
