    Description

    Living in a small, growing, community, we are two families with total 4 kids that love to play with each other. Our small community is hosted by another community at the same address (for now) and therefore, we have in total 6 kids. There is a huge garden, there are a few living rooms, tons of games - but the kids need someone to be around.

    While the kids play (accompanied by someone), someone takes care of lunch and the others do their business; sometimes on their own, sometimes together. Our main business is our growing community and daily live. Therefore we just built a yurt (see pictures!) that hosts our guests and workawayers! We're not done yet with the interior of the yurt, therefore feel free to join in making it nice for yourself!

    Join in for good regional/seasonal/vegan food, cool conversations, cool nature, high mountains and fun kids!

    ****
    We just founded this community to support the development of our dream: Together, we want to create a sustainable community of values that combines openness to the world, sustainability and social interaction! With a solid investment concept, we want to create a place on a farm in Carinthia (AT) that will not only provide a future worth living for us, but also for future generations.
    Anyhow, we are still living with another community (which is also great and also here on workaway) until we finally bought our own project.

    Four kids: to protect the privacy of our kids, we don't put too many details about them on the web. Also, the pictures on the profile are edited for privacy reasons.

    Age: 2, 2½, 3, 4, 5, 9
    Gender: m, m, f, m, m, f
    School: the two older ones are going to school/kindergarden 4-5days/week - the younger ones don't.

    ABOUT OUR REFERENCES... You might be wondering about our old references.
    We used to run a small community farm in south Germany, but due to a very inconvenient neighbour and an unbearable local government, we decided to sell that place. It was just awesome having this workawayers energy around, so we were eager to start over again.
    We hosted an incredible amount of workawayers already and we also wrote a lot of references (as you can read below). Writing a good reference takes time, and a lot of workawayers don't really need references (e.g. we usually don't check for references if the person seems to connect personally). For saving time, we decided to write references only when workawayers ask for it or if they leave a reference first. Please feel free to ask!! Nevertheless, it's nice to get a reference from time to time. ;-)

    Can possibly accept pets

    It depends on how you are planning to stay here. Dogs (and other animals) are usually not allowed inside the house - but if you have a private room and clean afterwards, you can have the dog there and in the garden... Dogs also need to be controlled and trained strictly. And lastly you need to take care of their faeces (not just in our garden but also when doing walkies).
