    Description

    My partner Jutta and I Gomin ran a small organic farm a few years ago. Now I'm retired, Jutta looks after children with disabilities from time to time. We grow lots of vegetables, fruit and berries in our large garden and process everything ..A ten-strong flock of chickens and two colonies of bees, plus 4 hectares of forest for making firewood, complete the play options. We also keep three lambs together with two neighbors. So there are also opportunities for learning and experience.
    We have two heated construction trailers in the garden. The helpers are supposed to sleep in them. Dönkendorf is a small settlement in MV, in Klützer Winkel, not far from the Baltic Sea, 6km.

    Meine Partnerin Jutta und ich Gomin betrieben vor ein paar Jahren noch einen kleinen Biohof.Jetzt bin ich schon in Rente,Jutta betreut ab und an Kinder mit Handycap.Wir bauen in unsrem großen Garten viel Gemüse ,Obst und Beeren an und verarbeiten alles..Eine zehnköpfige Hühnerschar und zwei Bienenvölker,dazu 4ha Wald zum Brennholzmachen ergänzen die Spielmöglichkeiten.Auch drei Schaflämmer halten wir mit zwei Nachbarn zusammen.So gibt es auch da Lern- und Erfahrungsmöglichkeiten.
    Wir haben zwei beheizbare Bauwägen im Garten stehen .In denen sollen die Helferinnen schlafen. Dönkendorf ist eine kleine Siedlung in MV,im Klützer Winkel ,unweit der Ostsee,6km.
