What's this?
Help
Depending on the season, there are many different help needed.
Always some fences have to be controlled/repaired, in winter the goats and horses much be fed and the horse-shit must be taken away.
in the garden are all kinds of works... we have an ol small house, where we have to put tink on the walls.
we have wood for burning in the winter time, still lying on the meadow. it must be carried/ pulled by the horses down to the barn. and then it must be cut in pieces.
besides that we have to make isolation of one wall between goat-stable and house. and finish roof of the barn.
sometimes we need help with teaching young horses, or leading horses, when children want to ride on their backs.
Languages spoken
GERMAN, DUTCH, ENGLISH, POLISH

I stayed here for about 3 weeks. Pia was always looking for ways to help me extend my limited Polish knowledge by connecting me with neighbors, and the farm master that is Nico had extensive knowledge on everything from goat cheese to the history of farming in Poland. I learned a great amount during my stay, and I was able to do some long distance… read more

I stayed 2 weeks at the end of september at the great farm of Pia and Nico. As I knew before, 2 weeks are definitely too short for such a nice play. I liked the everyday routine with the goats and enjoyed the fresh milk and cheese after work at breakfast. Nico is a very well-kown gardener, and if you are interested, you can learn a lot of… read more

Even though I spent short time with Pia and Nico, I felt with them at home. I've learnt so much, about not only farming, bio food or how to care about animals, but also about living according to nature.

Pia is a wonderful horse trainer, she has a special bond with each of them. I accompanied her during feeding and inspiring walks with those… read more

I spent three great weeks at Nico and Pia's place. There is a lot of outside work which is awesome because of the environment and inside work is possible too when you feel like it. They really include you in many of their daily activities (work but also going out and meeting neighbourgs). I would have loved to work more with the goats, which are… read more

I had spent about one month at Nico's and Pia's place. We learned to get along well and the time there was nice.
The work is fair, like stated on the profile. One other volunteer and I worked together on different tasks. From cleaning goat stable, digging water canal, helping Nico with vegetable garden to preparing rooms and house for guests. We… read more

We spent at Pia and Nico’s house two interesting weeks in a very beautiful area. They were our first host, and it was good to start our trip with such a hard work of transferring logs of wood into the shed. It was a good experience to try some new vegetarian food. Csilla learned a lot about cheese making. And it was very great to have a try of… read more
