Description
We run a small farm located near Graz in the green heart of Austria. We are highly interested in organic farming, permaculture, knowledge exchange and meeting new people from all over the world.
Our main focus is self-supply and we aim to increase plant diversity and natural processes on the field. We currently produce vegetables, fruits and almonds . We love to experiment and try new farming ideas which are based on natural processes and support soil fertility and biological diversity. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Me and my husband are open minded people. We both went to university in Vienna and have degrees in natural resources management and agroecology. We love to travel with our little son and gain experience around the world. In our garden we love to grow our own food, sit by the fireplace, talk, eat and enjoy time together in our beautiful and silent scenery.

Help
We are looking for someone who is interested in gardening and simple facility-projects. My husband and I both go to work (we both have external employers) in the morning and small help around the house could also be done. In the afternoon our little son would love to play in the garden - this could be a nice time together.
In the afternoon we could work in the garden together - depending on how the day goes. -

Accommodation
We have several building s on the farm. One new house we live in, with a big kitchen and porch. The 2nd house is smaller, grandma lives here, and there will be a small bedroom to stay for the guests we welcome.
First of all we love to cook - this is a big issue in our family.
In the morning ther will be breakfast together. During lunchtime our gast could use the kitchen and prepare a little meal/snack. In the evening we will have a freshly cooked dinner together. -
What else ...
Spare time can be well spent in the surroundings and there are many destinations in reach: 30min to Graz, 2h to Vienna (Bus Stop is close to the farm), next train Station is about 8km away (4h Budapest or Udine). The nearest city is Gleisdorf (5 km away, you can go by bike) providing all important shops and facilities.
