Description
Hello world!
In 2024 we have a few projects in our mind which we'd like to do! We have a newborn baby which means that Mum won't be able to to a lot of work on and around the farm!
First, we are looking for a person/or couple who is staying longterm with us (a few months) to help in day to day work in the house and with the kids!
Second, we need people during late spring and summer to bulid outside areas for our pigs and help us to renovate the stable itsself.
We might also have a big vegetable garden which needs maitenance!!
Also, there is daily work with animals...- In April and May we especially are looking for someone who can Feed the animals at least once a day (about 1-2 hours of work) - anybody can learn it! :-) - Leonhars will be on the fields with the tractor most if the time ;-)
We are a young family (Leonhard and Anna) with soon 3 kids (born 2019 &2021 &2024) who are renovating a big farmhouse and want to establish a lot of new things on the farm.
At the moment we run the farm only with agriculture, cultivating different crops and forestry but in the future we also like to have pigs outdoor and have a few other plans. Furthermore we are going to have a permaculture based vegetable garden. Since Leonhard loves the combination of forest and agriculture we’d like to try some areas with agroforestry systems.
Pigs, Cats, hens and rabbits, ducks, sheep and goats have already found their place on the farm :-)
Families are welcome too!!!

Help
We’d like you to help us with our daily work. It depends what you like/can/want to do – since there is always too much work in and around the house and stables. Of course we are happy if you also have fun with our kids. Most work also depends on the season and on our progress of the projects.

You are gonna have your own small room and shared kitchen/bathroom etc. It would be nice if we can eat together for lunch and evening. We grow and feed a lot of the food ourselves or buy it from local farms. Please do not smoke in/on/around the farm.
What else ...
We live very close to awesome nature but city life is also not far away and easy to reach by train . By train you can even reach big cities (Salzburg 45min, Vienna 2 hours). The Salzkammergut with all its beauty is joust out the door with pretty lakes and great hikes. For example the Traunsee is only a 30min bike ride away. We can provide bicycles.
