  • Description

    Description

    We live in a secluded location, yet very close to a small town. Our old mill is nestled between a forest and a stream. Harry (42) and Fee (42) live here. We value the quality of our food and primarily eat what our garden provides, occasionally adding meat or eggs. Of course, we also buy some things, always prioritizing ethical sourcing and seasonality.

    We cook fresh meals daily. We prepare lunch for our guests 2-3 times a week; on the other days, you are welcome to help yourself in the common room.

    Our home is situated amidst cycling paths and very close to many attractions in the Northern Black Forest near Freudenstadt.

    We work with the seasons and the weather, which means we expect you to help us for 25 hours a week. We will discuss the schedule weekly.

    We are self-sufficient and produce for our own consumption.

    Important:
    Fee is very sensitive to artificial smells, so if you love perfumes, chemical detergents, etc., living together will be difficult. Please bring your own eco-friendly soap or shower gel.

    You should be able to spend time alone, as we both work long hours and have busy schedules.



    Wir leben abgeschieden und doch sehr nah an einer Kleinstadt. Zwischen Wald und Bach ist unsere alte Mühle. Hier leben Harry (42) und Fee (42). Wir legen Wert auf die Qualität der Lebensmittel und ernähren uns hauptsächlich von dem was uns der Garten schenkt und gelegentlich Fleisch oder Eier. Natürlich kaufen wir auch das ein oder andere dazu, auch hier achten wir auf ethische Vertretbarkeit und Saisonalität.
    Wir kochen täglich frisch. Für unsere Gäste kochen wir 2-3mal in der Woche Mittagessen, die anderen Male darfst du dich selbst im Gemeinschaftsraum versorgen.

    Unser Zuhause liegt zwischen Radwegen und sehr nah an vielen Ausflugszielen im Nordschwarzwald bei Freudenstadt.

    Wir arbeiten mit den Jahreszeiten und dem Wetter was bedeutet wir erwarten das du uns 25 Stunden in der Woche hilfst, wie das verteilt wir sprechen wir wöchentlich ab.

    Wichtig:
    Fee reagiert sehr sensibel auf unnatürliche Gerüche, falls du also gerne Parfums, chemische Waschmittel etc liebst wird es schwierig mit einem Zusammenleben. Bitte bringe deine eigene ökologische Seife oder Duschgel mit.

    Du solltest in der Lage sein mit dir selbst Zeit zu verbringen, da wir beide viel arbeiten und einen engen Wochenplan haben.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live very close to nature in the rhythm of the seasons and yet we would call ourselves modern. Our way of life is circular.

    Wir leben sehr naturnah im Rhythmus der Jahreszeiten und trotzdem würden wir uns modern bezeichnen. Unsere Art zu leben ist Kreislaufwirtschaftlich.
