    =========
    We are currently looking for 1-2 people to help us care for our animals in November to December this year 2024.
    ============
    We have a non-profit farm where many different animals live. All of these animals came to us in different ways and now they are our family. Each one with its own story and personalty. We keep horses that were discarded from riding schools because they were no longer fully usable, half blind, bred for meat production from the outset or whose owners were too sick to continue caring for them. Mini pigs that used to live in a garage and had to leave when one became pregnant. Geese that would actually have ended up on the Christmas table last year. Sheep brought into barn instead of traveling to the slaughterhouse with the rest of your flock. Cats that didn't have a home. And a sheepdog who was afraid of sheep.

    Caring for all of these animals on a daily basis is a challenge. This can hardly be achieved without passion and love for animals. Do you have these too? And can you really tackle it?

    We are looking for persons who would like to live with us on the farm and take care of the animals in order to help us out while our regular worker is on holiday. On the one hand, you really have to enjoy the work, and on the other hand, there has to be a good personal relationship between all of us, because harmonious cooperation, trust and reliability are important to us.

    Feel free to contact us for the details.
