    Description

    We are a small young family who together manage our recently acquired a farm. We are still under construction and are therefore grateful for every helping hand! Our great farm and, above all, the beautiful surroundings are wonderfully decelerating and you quickly learn to think down to earth again and get involved in the simple life. Our large vegetable garden is filled with treasures all year round and our animals give us everything else we need to live. Self-sufficiency plays an important role for us, even if we are not yet perfect at it.

    I also don't run a small guesthouse with 3 rooms and a shared kitchen, as well as a holiday apartment. Quasi vacation on the farm.


    If someone is artistically gifted or has fun decorating our garden (e.g. shrub beds, painting stalls, decorating the garden, building bird and insect houses, etc.), then we will definitely find a way!

    Please keep in mind that we have dogs and cats in case you have an allergy. We are also an emigrant farm, which means that there is nothing around us. It is an advantage to travel by car in order not to be dependent on us. Of course we can go shopping together if you don't have your own means of transport! The nearest shop is 4km away on foot. The next train stations are in Gunzenhausen and Nördlingen (approx. 20 minutes away)

    With us you get dirty and sometimes sweat while doing physical work. Wellies are an advantage when you hang on your everyday shoes. When mucking in the stables or feeding the animals every day, you sometimes come into contact with shit;) If you get disgusted quickly or are afraid of your gel nails, our farm may not be the right place for you.
    Helping with the rental apartments is not permitted!

    We are a small, young family with two small children who run our recently purchased farm together. We are still in the process of building it up and are therefore grateful for every helping hand! Our great farm and especially the beautiful surroundings are wonderfully relaxing and you quickly learn to think down-to-earth and to embrace the simple life. Our large vegetable garden is filled with treasures all year round and our animals give us everything else we need to live. Self-sufficiency plays an important role for us, even if we are not yet perfect at it.

    I also run a small guesthouse with 2 holiday apartments and two rooms. Holidays on the farm.

    If someone is artistically gifted or enjoys designing our garden (e.g. perennial beds, painting stables, decorating the garden, building bird and insect houses, etc.), then we will definitely find a way!

    Our animals:
    Chickens
    Ducks
    Pigs
    Mini pigs
    Dogs
    Cats
    Sheep
    Donkeys
    Rheas

    Please remember that we have dogs and cats if you have an allergy. We are also a farm run by immigrants, which means that there is nothing around us. It is an advantage to travel by car so that you are not dependent on us. Of course we can go shopping together if you do not have your own means of transport! The nearest shopping facility is 4km away on foot. The nearest train stations are in Gunzenhausen and Nördlingen (approx. 20 minutes away)

    Please note:
    I have 2 small children who sometimes have difficulties with strangers because they are still very young. It is extremely important to me that they are included in conversations etc. and that we host workawayers who love children, as it is very important for the children not to be rejected in their own home! And not to be simply ignored. Our daily routine is very important for our children, so I ask that this be respected.
    You get dirty and sweat sometimes when doing physical work. Rubber boots are an advantage if you are attached to your everyday shoes. When mucking out the stables or feeding the animals every day, you sometimes come into contact with shit ;) If you are easily disgusted or worried about your gel nails, our farm may not be the right place for you.

    Helping with the bnb apartments is not permitted!

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are a small private pension with animal husbandry. Sometimes people from all over the world come together here. If the opportunity arises, we like to sit around the campfire with our pensioners and philosophize and exchange ideas. With us you can learn a lot about beekeeping, hosting as a guesthouse and animal husbandry.
    I can also teach you to play the guitar and teach about taxidermy

    Wir sind eine kleine Privatpension mit Tierhaltung. Teilweise kommen hier Menschen aus der ganzen Welt zusammen. Falls sich die Gelegenheit ergibt hocken wir gerne mit unseren Pensionsgästen am Lagerfeuer zusammen und philosophieren und tauschen uns aus. Man kann bei uns viel übers Imkern, das Gastgeben als Pension sowie die landwirtschaftliche Tierhaltung lernen. Ich kann auch das Gitarre spielen beibringen und etwas über Taxidermy zeigen.

  • Help

    Help

    We recently bought a beautiful farm in the great Donauries area and we always have a lot to do here.
    Since we also have a guesthouse with us and occasionally have unoccupied rooms, we are always happy to receive support.
    We offer :
    - work with animals
    - A great vegetable garden
    - A great time in the country

    Of course, I am always happy for every helping hand and, against your energy, offer a room with a bathroom and, by arrangement and possibility, food.
    With us everything revolves around self-sufficiency! Starting with the animal care, beekeepers, gardeners, boarding rooms and guests, but also handicraft work, we have everything with us.
    Are you in the mood for the good time here in the country, can you lend a hand and are you ready for something new?
    Then feel free to contact me.
    The best thing to do is write me a short description of your age, profession, maybe why you want to do the whole thing. Of course, I am also very enthusiastic about craftsmen
    Please just consider that unfortunately, due to lack of space, I cannot give everyone an opportunity on our farm. Privacy is very important to us. But we offer our workawayers their own room with bathroom and the opportunity to cook in a communal kitchen.
    I'm happy for you!

    Wir haben vor kurzem einen wunderschönen Hof in der tollen Gegend Donauries gekauft und haben hier immer allerhand zu tun.
    Da wir auch eine Pension dabei haben und hin und wieder auch unbesetzte Zimmer haben, freuen wir uns immer sehr über Unterstützung.
    Wir bieten :
    - Arbeit mit Tieren
    - Einen tollen Gemüsegarten
    - Eine tolle Zeit auf dem Lande

    Ich bin natürlich immer froh um jede helfende Hand und biete gegen deine Tatkraft ein Zimmer mit Bad sowie nach Absprache und Möglichkeit Kost.
    Bei uns dreht sich alles um die Selbstversorgung! Angefangen bei der Tierversorgung, Imkern, Gärtnern aber auch handwerklichen Arbeiten haben wir alles mit dabei.
    Hast du Lust auf die schöne Zeit hier auf dem Lande, kannst anpacken und bist bereit für etwas Neues?
    Dann melde dich doch gerne bei mir.
    Am besten schreibst du mir eine kleine Beschreibung mit Alter, Beruf vielleicht warum du das Ganze machen möchtest. Sehr gerne bin ich natürlich auch für Handwerker zu begeistern
    Bitte bedenkt nur, dass ich leider, aus Platzgründen, nicht jedem eine Möglichkeit auf unserem Hof geben kann. Privatsphäre ist etwas sehr wichtiges für uns. Aber wir bieten unseren Workawayern ein eigenes Zimmer mit Bad und die Möglichkeit in einer Gemeinschaftsküche zu kochen.
    Ich freue mich auf Dich!

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We are a hermit farm between two villages. For accommodation you will receive one of our beautiful guesthouse rooms (double rooms with king-size beds or our caravan. Each of these rooms has its own bathroom. We provide cosmetic items such as shower gel!
    We are happy to provide you with basic foodstuffs! We like to eat a warm lunch together.
    Please take care of all your individual wishes yourself. (Vegan, allergies, etc.)

    Wir sind ein Einsiedlerhof zwischen zwei Dörfern. Zur Unterbringung erhalten Sie eines unserer schönen Gästehauszimmer (Doppelzimmer mit Kingsize-Betten oder unseren Wohnwagen). Jedes dieser Zimmer verfügt über ein eigenes Bad. Kosmetikartikel wie Duschgel stellen wir Ihnen zur Verfügung!

    Bitte kümmern Sie sich selbst um alle Ihre individuellen Wünsche. (Vegan, Allergien usw.)

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Since we are also a guesthouse, we can give you good tips for excursion destinations! Not far from here we have a beautiful, natural and wild castle park called Dennenlohe. Everyone who loves nature just has to come here! Cleanliness and order are very important to us. Therefore, I expect everyone to properly clean or tidy up what they have used. All basic food is provided. All more specific wishes should be taken care of yourself. Privacy is very important to us. Proximity and distance should be appropriate for both parties. Therefore everyone has their own living space / area. Common time z. B. a joint dinner takes place by invitation. However, we are very happy when people cook for each other or together! I love the Asian cuisine! If people arrive without a car: You can go shopping with us at a distance of 4 km. We are happy to provide a bike. I ask for your understanding that I cannot help out with the car very often, as my little baby does not particularly enjoy doing a lot of things with the car.


    Da wir auch eine Pension sind, können wir gute Tipps für Ausflugsziele geben! Wir haben nicht weit von hier entfernt einen wunderschönen naturnahen und wilden Schlosspark, namens Dennenlohe. Jeder der Natur liebt muss einfach hier her! Sauberkeit und Ordnung sind uns sehr wichtig. Daher erwarte ich von jedem, dass er das was er benutzt hat auch richtig reinigt bzw. aufräumt.
    Für alle Grundnahrungsmittel wird gesorgt. Alle konkreteren Wünsche sollten selbst besorgt werden.
    Privatsphäre ist für uns sehr wichtig. Nähe und Distanz sollten für beide Parteien angemessen sein. Daher hat jeder seinen eigenen Lebensraum/Bereich. Wir freuen uns sehr auf gemeinsame Zeit bei den Mahlzeiten . Wir freuen uns jedoch sehr, wenn gegenseitig füreinander gekocht wird oder gemeinsam! Ich liebe die asiatische Küche!
    Falls Personen ohne Auto anreisen :
    In 4km Entfernung kann man bei uns alles einkaufen gehen. Wir stellen gerne ein Fahrrad zur Verfügung. Ich bitte um Verständnis, dass ich nicht oft mit dem Auto aushelfen kann, da mein kleines Baby nicht besonders gerne viele Erledigungen mit dem Auto machen kann.
