  • Description

    Description

    We are a couple living in the beautiful Mindeltal in Bavaria. Our garden is an important part of our daily life – we grow traditional varieties of vegetables, potatoes, herbs, as well as some fruit trees and berry bushes.
    We also have a few animals: an old goat, ducks, chickens and four cats (please note: the cats also live inside the house, so this might not be suitable for people with allergies).
    We enjoy sharing our way of life with others and are interested in cultural exchange. We like cooking together, especially with ingredients from our garden, and are happy to show you some Bavarian dishes and simple traditional skills like making herbal salves or soap.

    Help

    We are looking for help with everyday tasks in the garden and with the animals. This includes simple and varied activities such as feeding the animals, light cleaning of the enclosures, harvesting fruits and vegetables, and general garden care.
    There are also occasional small indoor projects like painting or light DIY help.
    We usually work together and explain all tasks. Sometimes we might be away for a short time, but responsibilities will always be discussed in advance and kept simple.
    We expect around 4–5 hours of help per day, 5 days a week, leaving you plenty of free time to explore the area..
