  • Description

    Description

    We live as a family on a small farm and run a small community-supported agriculture (CSA) project with chickens, arable land, and vegetables. Once a month, we go to the market to sell scrambled eggs and potato pancakes. In the fall, we hold a Halloween pumpkin carving event. We enjoy our daily life in and with nature. We try to work in a way that is as gentle on the soil as possible and to create habitats for birds and insects on our fields.
    The help days are Monday to Friday.
    From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., we do tasks together and then eat lunch together. We provide food for breakfast and dinner, or we can eat together in the evenings by arrangement.
    Free afternoons can be used to explore the beautiful surroundings. There are many lakes nearby that are perfect for swimming, as well as large forests and lovely field paths. Ratzeburg is the nearest larger town and is easily accessible by bus or bicycle.
    The Baltic Sea is about 50 minutes away by car. Lübeck is easily accessible by public transport, and Hamburg is only an hour away.


    Wir leben als Familie auf einem kleinen Hof und betreiben eine kleine Hühnern , Ackerbau und Gemüse. Einmal im Monat fahren wir auf den Markt um Rührei und Kartoffelpuffer zu verkaufen. Im Herbst gibt es Hallooweenkürbis schnitzen als Veranstaltung. Wir genießen unseren Alltag in und mit der Natur. Versuchen möglichst Bodenschonend zu arbeiten und den Vögeln und Insekten Lebensräume auf unserem Acker zu schaffen .
    Die Arbeitstage sind von Montag bis Freitag.
    Von 9 bis 13h arbeiten wir gemeinsam und essen dann zusammen ein Mittagessen. Für das Frühstück und Abendbrot stellen wir Essen bereit oder essen nach Absprache abends zusammen.
    Die freien Nachmittage können genutzt werden um die schöne Gegend zu erkunden. Es gibt viele Seen in der Nähe die zum Baden einladen. Großen Wald und schöne Feld Wege. Ratzeburg ist der nächst größere Ort und gut mit dem Bus oder Fahrrad zu erreichen.
    Die Ostsee ist ca 50 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt. Lübeck ist gut mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln zu erreichen. Und Hamburg ist nur 1 Stunde entfernt.
