Description
I am a biologist, have a husband (Spanish) and a 20 year old daughter (she is doing very well in an apprentice being a mechatronicerian).
On the 1 hectare farm I have seven donkeys, one horse, ducks and chickens.
The village of Rötlein is located in Hohenlohe near Dinkelsbühl and Rothenburg ob der Tauber in a state-approved local recreation area with countless ponds. There are many mills, farms and interesting people here.
We are looking for a couple, two good friends, or one person who would like to stay on our donkey farm for at least two weeks. We prefer people who are passionate about nature and enjoy physical labor, as farm work is very strenuous. Tasks include feeding the animals hay and straw, filling sandbags, repairing wooden fences, doing crafts, planting, and hiking with donkeys.
We can offer rooms in our guest apartment. A second space is available in the camp van. It's even big enough for two people who get along well.
We usually share mealtimes together. We divide mealtime tasks (planning, cooking) between us. I organize the shopping.
The tasks and working hours can be agreed individually.
================
Ich bin Biologin, habe einen Ehemann (Spanier) und eine 20-jährige Tochter (sie macht sich ganz gut in einer Ausbildung zur Mechatronikerin).
Auf dem 1 Hektar großen Bauernhof habe ich sieben Esel, ein Pferd, Enten und Hühner.
Das Dorf Rötlein liegt in Hohenlohe nahe Dinkelsbühl und Rothenburg ob der Tauber in einem staatlich anerkannten Naherholungsgebiet mit unzähligen Teichen. Hier gibt es viele Mühlen, Bauernhöfe und interessante Menschen.
Wir suchen ein Paar, zwei gute Freunde oder eine Person, die für mindestens 2 Wochen auf unserer Esel Farm bleiben möchten. Wir bevorzugen Menschen, die sich für die Natur begeistern können und gerne körperlich arbeiten, da die Arbeit auf dem Hof sehr anstrengend ist. Die Aufgaben sind z.B. Tiere mit Heu und Stroh füttern, Sandsäcke füllen, Holzzäune reparieren, handwerkliche Arbeiten, pflanzen, wandern mit Eseln.
Essenszeiten werden meist zusammen geteilt. Aufgaben für die Verpflegung (Planung, Kochen) teilen wir uns untereinander auf. Der Einkauf wird von mir organisiert.
Wir können Zimmer in unserer Gästewohnung anbieten. Ein zweiter Platz ist im Wohnmobil vorhanden. Er ist sogar groß genug für zwei Personen, die sich gut verstehen.
Die Aufgaben und Arbeitszeiten können individuell vereinbart werden.

What is very interesting to this place is that you always have something different to do, a lot of tasks but never the same and we appreciated it. We learn a lot with you and Pedro !
