    Description

    Organic gardening and happy animals are my joy. In May I need help for beekeeping and outdoor work around my house!
    I live in a renovated old house in the south of Bavaria. I have a vegetable garden that feeds me most of the year. The meadows around the house are grazed by my sheep. There are also about 10 bee colonies, fruit trees and some forest. I like to work in harmony with nature, not to exploit or damage it. I make sure to save energy and create as little waste as possible.
    I would like support with physically demanding agricultural activities, gardening, maintenance and caring for the animals. The activities are very varied and mostly outdoors. I welcome volunteers who like to join me in my daily tasks.
    When the weather is not so good, I also have some work indoors. I am glad to have a helping hand for this. You are welcome to join me, especially if you are strong and you have some experience with farmwork.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    There is the possibility to hike in the foothills of the Alps. There are lakes nearby and a small river is very close for a dip in the water. The towns in the area are rather small and have beautiful old buildings and a rural flair.
    Hikes are possible from the house. If it fits, we can also go to see something or go on tours together.

    Help

    I would like help with the daily activities, which can vary a lot depending on the season. Or there is a construction project or some other long task that can be done largely independently according to instructions.

    I have a room in the house that I can preparefor you. We have to use the bathroom one after the other. I would be happy if we have the meals together. I mainly cook what has grown in my garden, there is also meat from the sheep if you are not vegetarian.
    The house is 2km away from the next village and a shop. We have no public transports here. I can provide a bicycle and give you some lifts.
