Description
Hello, we are a family of 4, Martin (Austria, 40) tattoo artist and arborist, Mia (German, 37) cook, Wild hearbs lover, Omnipathie, 2 girls (7+9).
We have been living in the beautiful Mostviertel in Lower Austria since summer 2022.
Our farm is a bit remote, but surrounded by pure nature, beautiful walks, forests and other farms.
We live here with our dog, 3 cats, 2 rabbits, and chickens.
Since we haven't been here long, there is a lot that we want to innovate and create, depending on the capabilities of our Workaway we can adapt the projects.
We would like to implement the following ideas:
Revitalize the vegetable garden, pave plateaus for the fire pit, sweat lodge, permaculture, chill out space, tiny house. Expanding the existing tiny house, expanding the living spaces with clay, installing the heating in the old part of the house, installing a sauna, setting hedges, and much more...
Without having to start extra renovation projects, we also have many other interesting daily tasks;
looking after animals, learning about wild herbs and their use, vegetarian and vegan food, being in nature with the children and teaching them new languages, yoga, go for a walk or hike with the dog, design the garden creatively, help around the house, design tattoos ;)
We like to cook regionally and seasonally, vegetarian and if there is organic meat or fish from the farmer next door, that is also served on the plate.
Families with children are just as welcome here as individuals.
We also like to be out in the mountains and explore the beautiful nature of Austria. You are welcome to take part in all family activities. We look forward to having a nice time together with different people.Types of help and learning opportunities
