Description
We are a open mind familiy with four children (born on the 2012, 2014, 2017, 2020). We are use to have regulary visitors and are interesting in new encounters, diversified conversations and to get a new view of life.
Our timbered house is over 200 years old and has some building sites, which we complete step by step.
We live next to a little nature preserve (Elsteraue), where it's nice for a walk and enjoy the nature.
Otherwise we have a shop in the next big city Zeitz (10 km), where we sell organic food from other organic farmers and other stuff from ecological cultivation. On our farm also live a dog, cats and chicken.
