Description
We are a family with seven children and we live near Kappeln in northern Germany about ten kilometers away from the Baltic Sea or the River Schlei. We have two ponys, one horse, pigs, goats, geese, chicken, ducks, rabbits, one dog, three cats, quails, guinea pigs and budgies. We also farm a garden with vegetables for self-supply.
We also work with disabled people with the thought, to integrate all people our society and to give them a place, where they can feel comfortable. We visit with them the animals and are activ in a handicraft, artistic and musical way. The project is supported by the newly founded association.
We are also very interested in helpers, who have fun, to life and work in a big family for a longer period. Only with a lot of help, we can make our project possible.

We are located in the most northern part of Germany in the beautiful countryside of Angeln. As we live quite close to the Baltic Sea and the River Schlei, both about 10 km away, there is the opportunity for nearly every kind of watersports like sailing, wind- or kitesurfing or just a trip to a sandy beach for a swim. The landscape invites for bicycle tours. The cities of Kiel (50 km) and Flensburg (35 km) both are worth a visit.
