    Description

    I've been building Kyrgyz-style yurts for years and live in them year-round.
    Here you can learn how to build a yurt's wooden frame, sew the outer skin and felt, and build a yurt stove. You'll also learn everything about self-sufficiency, growing, and preserving food.
    There's plenty to do on my farm—easy building, looking after children, gardening, processing the harvest, and preparing meals.
    I live in Brandenburg near Prenzlau.

    Ich baue seit Jahren Jurten im kirgisischen Stil und lebe auch ganzjährig drin.
    Du kannst hier lernen, das Holzgerüst einer Jurte zu bauen, die Außenhaut und den Filz zu nähen und einen Jurtenofen zu bauen. Außerdem alles über selbst-Versorgung, Anbau und haltbar machen von Lebensmitteln.
    Es gibt genug zu tun auf meinem Hof - bauen - Kinder hüten - gärtnern - bei der Verarbeitung der Ernte und beim bereiten der Mahlzeiten..
    Ich lebe in Brandenburg bei Prenzlau.
