  Description

  We are a community of young families with kids between 0 and 4 years old living together on the countryside between Leipzig and Berlin in Saxony Anhalt.
  The farm is located beautifully around an old water mill and a small river is running over the property, where you can have a cold swim anytime of the year. On the land there are several fruit trees and we do plant our own veggies in summer.
  
  We have 3 old sheep, 3 small cows and around 30 chicken and a very friendly family-dog.
  
  Our plan is to create a place where everyone can realize ideas and projects together and children can grow up in nature with many adventures.

  Learning is what we do everyday here :-) We learned to plant vegetables and are curious about different ways of planting, we figured out how to do maintanance and contruction sustainably on a budged and are curious about technologies such as compost toilets, solar energy, building with clay... so we would like to continue this journey of learning with you and also to integrate you to our family live. So, let's learn together - we are looking forward to fun projects with you!
