    Description

    We live on a farm in the beautiful, idyllic Waldviertel region. We are Lilly (17), Emma (15), Tim (13), and Sabrina (43), along with little Kuna (one year old). We have chickens, rabbits, cats, dogs, and soon sheep and horses. Open-hearted people are very welcome, as are helping hands. We enjoy vegetable-rich, vegetarian meals every day. The food comes from our garden or from trusted local farmers.

    With us, you can explore the world of wild herbs, create delicious treats and beneficial elixirs.

    You can get your hands dirty in the garden and help us grow fresh vegetables 😉

    And of course, the animals will be happy to see you, especially if you enjoy it too!

    In spring, we prepare the beds, then sow and plant.

    We process the harvest and, of course, eat it. 😋

    And in autumn, we prepare wood for the winter. We look forward to spending some wonderful time together. ☀️


    Mit uns kannst du die Welt der Wildkräuter erkunden, Köstlichkeiten und nützliche Elixiere herstellen.

    Im Garten kannst du dir die Hände schmutzig machen, um mit uns sauberes Gemüse anzubauen😉

    Und natürlich freuen sich auch die Tiere auf dich, wenn du auch Freude dabei hast!

    Im Frühling werden die Beete vorbereitet, dann wird ausgesät und eingepflanzt.

    Es wird die Ernte verarbeitet und natürlich gegessen.😋

    Und im Herbst wird Holz vorbereitet für den Winter.

    Wir freuen uns auf schöne gemeinsame Zeit.☀️

    What else ...

    We have bicycles available for rent, making it easy to visit the nearby swimming ponds. The Waldviertel region, as its name suggests, is blessed with forests and abundant natural beauty and energy centers. It is famous for its granite stones, poppies, and potato cultivation. We are a non-smoking household; smoking is permitted outside the courtyard.

    Es gibt bei uns Fahrräder zum borgen, die umliegenden Badeteiche können so gut besucht werden.
    Das Waldviertel ist wie der Name sagt, gesegnet von Wald und viel wundervoller Natur und Kraftplätzen. Es ist berühmt, wegen seiner Granitsteine, dem Mohn und Kartoffel anbau.
    Wir sind ein Nichtraucher Haushalt, rauchen außerhalb des Hofes erwünscht.
