    **2024 UPDATE!** really started into building and try to finish two straw bale houses up to usability.

    so this year will see strawbalebuilding, clay plastering, lime rendering, electric installation up to wood furnitures finishings. additonally we are supposed to finish the started plant sewage system (with an additional pond for swimming or iceskating according to sunshinery) in summer and the green roofed manure storage.

    so i guess you ll catch us running, join in for the sport ;)

    PLUS: still on the lookout for people having experience milking YAKses <3 ever met any of these luvley fur folks?

    (away for 3 days a week to a job in the city - but you ll enjoy these as well, with kids aged 3, 5 and 16 on the weekends)

    the extra effort in building made us downscale farming happenings, handing animals and fields over to farmers for the years to come, once roofs n walls are weatherTIGHT jah!

    plan to bring back chickens, sheep and two horses once there s everyday care back up, till then we sometimes go for a horseback ride on weekends in the neighbourhood.

    Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

    The farm lies in the Waldviertel, the Wood Quarter of Lower Austria, where we hope to be able to share our knowledge of natural building techniques and materials as well as our experiences of small-scale farming, though we ourselves are learning new things all the time!

    We love to spend time with people from different cultures and backgrounds, especially around the fire (inside or out) where we play music, swap stories and try out new dishes with our own, home-grown food.

    Most importantly we would like help with our natural building projects although there is the opportunity to also work with the animals and in our garden. You will find that there is always something to do and no two days are the same here!

    No experience is required although it would be helpful. We can teach you everything you might need to know but if you can teach us anything too that would be wonderful, language exchange is a great example.

    From milking sheep, to bee keeping, to haymaking, to clay plastering, to straw bale building, to communal cooking, to natural stone building to harvesting fruit, vegetables, grains and honey, to figuring out where the chickens laid their eggs, there is something for almost everyone and you can try it all or choose a specific area in which you would like to be involved. To be clear, we currently only build and produce food for ourselves and work together as a family to do this, we do not sell any of our produce and are only a private household.

    Individuals, couples, families, and pets friends are all welcome!

    There are a few different spots around the property where people can stay and although sleeping inside is an option, it should be noted that the buildings are still a work-in-progress so it's maybe not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Outside however, there is ample space for tents, caravans or campers, with of course access to a shared bathroom, outdoor shower and shared kitchen. We personally like sleeping in the orchard in Summer ;-)

    We prefer to eat altogether though we understand that it's not always possible and try to take turns cooking. Our diet is (mostly) vegetarian but anyone visiting should feel free to cook and eat what makes them feel good. We share our food and can provide all you might need, unless it's olives. Olives are the devils butt nuggets.

    Previous visitors and volunteers have taken time to work at a local farm producing vegetable boxes and we help out at a small Montessori style school project too, teaching English to children aged from 5 to 14. We would be more than happy to arrange similar exchanges with helpers and can provide bikes for this or any other purpose. We highly recommend that anyone who visits takes a stroll to our local swimming spot and Krems an der Donau is a 30min drive away, with loads of history, food and access to the Danube. Vienna, is 1:30 hours away by car and 2 hours by public transport.
