    Description

    We are a family of four with lots of animals around us (horses, sheep, pigs, chickens, dogs, cats)
    About four kilometers away from civilization, embedded in lots of nature, lies the small farm, which we (Mario and Lisa) acquired in 2020. For us it is a magical place, a place of encounter and peace. Our idea was and is to create a special habitat for people, animals and nature. We do not practice commercial farming. The animals living here are part of our concept of life, are considered full members of our family and have a right to life until they die.
    The positive and careful treatment of people, animals and nature is very important to us.
    Our idea of ​​respectful treatment and empathetic communication with the animals is mainly the positive amplifier as the main element of communication. Not only the communication and the right of the animals to have a say is very important here, but also the way they are kept. The animals should be able to live as species-appropriately as possible - to achieve this, an awareness of the needs of each animal species and of each individual should be created.

    The aim is to create a feel-good place for humans and animals! A space to develop, to enjoy and to be!

    There is always something to do, whether in the garden, working with wood, small repairs, entertaining children, cooking, etc. or your participation in our projects, building an outdoor kitchen, shelter for the animals, building a pizza oven, etc. We are always happy to exchange ideas and support.

    -----

    Wir sind eine vierköpfige Familie mit vielen Tieren um uns (Pferd, Schafe, Schweine, Hühner, Hunde, Katze)
    Circa vier Kilometer abgelegen von der Zivilisation, eingebettet in viel Natur, liegt die kleine Landwirtschaft, die 2020 von uns (Mario und Lisa) erworben wurde. Es ist für uns ein magischer Ort, ein Ort der Begegnung und des Friedens. Unsere Vorstellung war und ist es einen besonderen Lebensraum für Mensch, Tier und Natur entstehen zu lassen. Bei uns wird keine kommerzielle Landwirtschaft betrieben. Die hier lebenden Tiere sind ein Teil unseres Lebenskonzepts, gelten als vollständige Mitglieder unserer Familie und haben ein Lebensrecht bis zu ihrem Ableben.
    Uns ist der positive und achtsame Umgang mit Mensch, Tier und Natur sehr wichtig.
    Unsere Vorstellung von respektvollem Umgang und empathischer Kommunikation mit den Tieren ist hauptsächlich der positive Verstärker als Hauptelement der Kommunikation. Nicht nur die Kommunikation und das Mitspracherecht der Tiere ist hier sehr wichtig, sondern auch die Haltungsweise. Die Tiere sollen so artgerecht wie möglich leben können – dazu soll ein Bewusstsein für die Bedürfnisse der jeweiligen Tierart, sowie der einzelnen Individuen geschaffen werden.

    Ziel ist es einen Wohlfühl-Ort für Mensch und Tier zu schaffen! Einen Raum zum Entfalten, zum Genießen und zum Sein!

    Es ist immer was zu tun ob im Garten, Holz arbeiten, kleine Reparaturen, Kinder bespaßen, kochen, etc. oder deine Beteiligung an unseren Projekten, Outdoorküche bauen, Unterstand für die Tiere, Pizzaofen bauen, etc. Wir freuen uns immer über Austausch und Unterstützung.
