Description
We have a big Permaculture Garden with raised and crater beds. We plant a lot of exotic and local vegetables and do the whole process by ourselves. There is also a big apiculture with 50 beehives that needs help. Only if you are not allergic or afraid, of course. We also do seminars and workshops about Permaculture, Conserving and Fermenting and Herbs.
Martin&Vroni are organic farmers and you would spend the day with them and the other volunteers. Your accomodation ist in Mahlerhof, just down the street, which also is part of the porject.

We are located 25 km from Augsburg in the south of Germany.
