Description
We are a young family, living the rural organic dream with all the sweat and tears it comes with. There is Sebastian, the provider, head full of chemistry and research for his bread labour and Anna, the creative, source of chaos and production (gardener by profession).
Also there are 2 small daughters (7 and 4), 2 very active dogs, 2 cats, 2 Kunekune pigs, geese, chicken, ducks, quails - also there to provide distraction and a vegetable farm and work as far as the eye can see ;)
Now that we are halfway through with the house renovation, I am currently in the process of setting up my small vegetable farm. We produce a wild mix from herb mixtures to quail eggs in a very idealistic outset: as plastic-free as possible, regional, independent (of oil, supermarkets and industry) and as self-sufficient as possible.
There are various tasks, depending on your talent and motivation: sowing, weeding, planting, hoeing, harvesting, cooking, hoeing and more hoeing, mowing, repairing things, building, repairing them again, the daily walks with the dogs, entertaining the children, being entertained by the children...
We cook from scratch with our own produce and some treats (fish/meat/cheese) from out local foodcoop. We share the cooking duty equally with you. A certain basic level of independence is desired and you should enjoy physical work and the fresh air!
We live in a very rural area, so be entertained by the everyday life of grinding for the food you enjoy!
Due to asthma we can not accommodate smokers.
Please give yourself at least 4 weeks to settle into our lifepace and become part of our family.
Wir sind Sebastian und Anna mit 2 kleinen Töchtern (7 und 4), 2 sehr aktiven Hunden, einer großen und einer kleinen Katze, Gänsen, Hühnern, Wachteln, Gemüsebaubetrieb und Arbeit soweit das Auge reicht ;)
Ich, Anna, bin gelernter Gemüsegärtner und nachdem wir inzwischen mit dem Hausumbau halbwegs fertig sind, gerade dabei mir meinen kleinen Gemüsebetrieb aufzubauen. Von Teekräutern bis Wachteleier ist alles dabei und wir sind sehr klein und idealistisch unterwegs: Möglichst plastikfrei, regional, unabhängig (von Erdöl, Supermärkten und Industrie) und selbstversorgend.
Es gibt, je nach Begabung und Freude diverse Arbeiten: Säen, Jäten, Setzen, Hacken, Ernten, Verkochen, Hacken, Mähen, Dinge reparieren, bauen, wieder reparieren, tägliches Gassi gehen, die Kinder bespaßen, von den Kindern bespaßt werden...
Wir teilen uns das Kochen. Eine gewisse Grundselbstständigkeit ist erwünscht und körperliche Arbeit sollte dir Spaß machen!
Wir leben sehr ländlich, die tägliche Essensbeschaffung ist Weg & Ziel!
Wir können keine Raucher aufnehmen (Asthma).
Bringe mindestens einen Monat Zeit mit, um dich in unserem Klamauk einleben zu können und Teil unserer Familie zu werden.

Accommodation
In summer you will live in a camper-van in the garden. In winter we have a small guestroom inside. You share bath and food with us.
We cook FRESH and YUMMY without substitute products, trying to mainly use the harvest from our own garden (=seasonal diet!) and avoid shopping at the supermarket. We own a big supply of EVERYTHING, mostly in big jars of years supply. Other things - like milk, fish once a month, sometimes cheese, sometimes meat - we get from the foodcoop (regional and ecological) or farmerfriends.
We share cooking duty equally and bake cakes for sweets!
We try to avoid the SUPERMARKET and PLASTIC, as best as we can.
We do NOt accomodate SMOKERS!
What else ...
We are non smokers and only accomodate non smokers ! ! !
We don´t usually drink.
We enjoy your company! We love board games and having fun!
We do some yoga every other day with Mady Morrison in our living room, even though I suck ;)
We are living a basic lifestyle, by producing our main needs as we go.
