    Description

    For April or May 2025: we are searching for help with building up a new chickens coop - mainly construction and concrete work. We consider having one workawayer or a couple for about 2 weeks.

    For June or July 2025: We are searching for help with painting our wood windows and doing gardening work. We consider having one workawayer or a couple for about 2 weeks.

    For June and September 2025: we are searching for someone help and people who want to house sit and animal sit our house.

    We (Karl and Barbara) have a little son who will be 2 years old in August. We have some chickens, ducks, geese, bees, two dogs and a large garden and always some projects to create our own "Place to be".

    In general we have some construction work in our garden, and around our house some diy projecta. (e.g build a guard rail including small masonry works; sheeting a wall with eternit plates). Your are welcome to assist us with our projects but alternatively you can also take care of daily work like cooking and cleaning. You can choose depending on you interests.
    Since we did not plan every project down to the last detail yet we can also adapt our work depending on your skills and wishes.

    Normally we both work full-time and in our free time we like to go hiking and spending time with our dogs.

    We are open for 1-3 weeks stays with a further possibility to prolong up to 1 month.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We offer helpers accomodation in our house, so you would live with us and share our every-day-life, which is gardening, cooking and household (we are excellent cooks :-) , especially but not only on austrian dishes, including vegetarian and vegan cuisine and dishes with meat).
    We would love if you could cook two or three times a meal which is typical for your country or if you like to cook also more often - we love to learn about your culture and your meals.

    Apart from that travellers will be part of our projects in our garden with our animals and woodworking. This includes selfsustainment (we try to have our own fruits and vegetables, we eat the eggs and meat of our chickens).
