Our small farm is located in a village between Vienna and Budapest, near to the Bakony forest. Since 2013 we try to be more or less self-sufficient - we have a big vegetable garden with many fruit trees, a vineyard, chickens, ducks, sheeps and a nice dog. Since 2015 we are hosting people from all over the world and would be happy to welcome you on our farm.

If you want to stay on our farm in Hungary you should know that it can be very hot in the summertime and cold in the wintertime. The work can be physically hard and you shouldn´t mind getting dirty.
Because we´re an organic farm we try to do our best with conserving water like using the outside shower in the warm season and the compost toilet. We try to avoid unnecessary trash like single used plastic.

We provide at least 3 meals a day (because my husband is always hungry). We have a guest room in our house or a nice cabin in the middle of nature, without any comfort about 5 km outside of the village.
We are very happy about long-term workawayers, but our minimum time is 2 weeks.
We pick you up at the train station next to us (Gyömöre / Tet). We provide bikes if you want to make a journey with. The closest cities to visit are Györ and Papa with thermal bathes or you can go hiking or biking in the Bakony forest or visit the famous monastery in Panonhalma with an arboretum and a very old library. For your days off you have a quick connection to Budapest, Vienna and Bratislava.
You can join us on our daily evening walk to the vinyard, we often have campfires. Sometimes we make a journey or meet some friends where you are always invited to join us. If you need your privacy you´ll find a quite place in our garden.
