  Description

  Hi!
  We are Thomas (1983) Judith (1987) Klara (2014) and Flora (2016).
  We live on a hill with alltogether around 13 hectar organically farmed land. This includes our neighbourfarm and an old farm which we rent in the moment. parts of the land have not been farmed for the last years, which creates a biotop for birds and wild animals. In this way we host a fox in the forest, a lot of birds in the trees including huntingbirds and you can watch rabits, deer and woodpeckers from our window.
  Martina and Rudi lives in the very oldest building of our farm, and with them the two horses Pina and Lotte.
  Our youngest Member is our Dog Amy and her best friend the cat Minka. Beside them, we have 4 other cats and 10 Chicken with 2 Cocks to take care of them.
  
  Our main interest in life is to live close to nature and to stay in a truthful connection to other people. We want to build up an appropriate environment for human, plants and animals, which is worth to live in.
  
  We grow lots of vegetables and fruits, and in the moment we build a new house, to create more living space. Both means lots of different thinks to do and we are always happy to have a hand on and want to share our knowledge with you.
  
  We ourselve spend also lots of time traveling and learning from other farms and communitys, where we get lots of inspiration about permaculture, the connection between human and animals as well as to use nonviolent communication between humans.
  
  You are invited to visit us, learn from us and help us in a variety of tasks, also children are very welcome!
  
  Hope to see you someday,
  Judith and Thomas
