    Description

    Join our joyful little community in nature!

    We're looking for enthusiastic people who'd love to lend a hand in our permaculture garden, care for the animals, and help out around our beautiful property. If you enjoy meaningful conversations by the fireplace, delicious food from the garden, and exploring a region full of charm, you might just love it here.

    We’re currently a small group of four (we speak English, German, Dutch, and French), living together with a whole bunch of happy animals — 4 horses, chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs — with plans to welcome more as part of our vision for wild farming.

    Our days are filled with exciting projects:
    🌱 expanding the permaculture garden and food forest
    🌿 planting, building fences, creating a storage space
    🌞 setting up a big greenhouse, compost toilets
    🔨 creating workshops for wood and metal work
    💧 designing a natural circular water system
    🐴 caring for our beloved animals

    We work with permaculture, horse-assisted coaching, and a holistic approach to life.

    Our long-term dream?
    To create a self-sufficient, healing place for people, nature, and animals — a space to live in harmony with nature and share knowledge through retreats and courses.

    If this resonates with you, we’d love to welcome you to our little piece of paradise!
