URGENT:
At the moment we need people that do not mind to properly (with roots) remove weed from our garden, that know how to refurbish OR that do not mind cleaning.
We are still looking for people helping us ! Last minute helpers are very welcome!
--------------------------------------------------
ABOUT US:
We live in a wonderful place with lots of space and Caravans.
I was a volunteer myself in England in april 2013. I think it is a great opportunity to learn the language and get to know the real culture. So I decided to offer a helper position here as well. Here we go ;):
My mum, my stepfather, my little brother (17), my older brother (35), his girlfriend, me (33), my boyfriend and two other people are living in a very old, but renovated, little farmhouse. We are all working in different jobs or go to school.
We are a community that is mainly connected because of working and living together. On our farm we have some goats, a sheep and cats, chickens, geese,.... We have a big garden and eat lots of fresh food from our own garden.
The next village (which also has a station) is about 3 kilometres away. Often you would have your own room or caravan, but if we are too many people, you would have to share your room, but there is so much space here that you will always find a space for yourself when you want to retreat.
The work would comprise: help in the household (cleaning, washing, ironing, cooking,...), help with the animals, help with the garage and barn (sort and clean it out) and help to cut wood for the winter and help to prepare parties or events.
We also have an old caravan in our garden which needs to be refurbished, so we are looking for some skilled people who can help us with that. We look for people who enjoy being with us and the kids but also can entertain themselves (read a book, make music, etc.) My little brother and my stepfather play the guitar and love to do jamsession. So let us know when you are a musician and love to make music, too.
--------------------------------------------------
WHAT WE EXPECT:
We expect work from you for about 4 hours a day and you get 1 day off a week in return of fresh and loads of food and accommodation. You could also join our family life, although we cannot always offer you lots of entertainment here, as everyone is quite busy. But you can also discover the area around Burghausen, which has a lot to offer on your own. Munich, Salzburg, Landshut, Rosenheim are about 1,5 hours by train.
All in all, however you should be able to entertain yourself and be an independent person and also see when something needs to be done. We are a drug free place and we often have people and kids at our farm. So if you are looking for a party place where you can get wasted than that's not the right place for you. However we enjoy to sit at the campfire and have a good chat and play some music and drink a beer or two, but not hundreds though!
We are really looking forward to hearing from helpers all over the world! Just write a short message if you are interested in which you let us know what you can do and offer to be part of the community, how long you would like to stay (10 days +), and a short description of you and of what you expect of us as well. Then we can make contact and I can answer you all your questions!
Hope to hear from you!

As an Englishman, a refugee from Afghanistan, a refugee from Syria and lots of different personalities, children and elderly people are living here, we are a community where everyone who is open and interested in other cultures can not just get to know the Bavarian culture with its "Gemütlichkeit" but also others. And we are always happy if you teach us something about your culture (songs, food, poems, stories, language) as well.
The work would comprise: help in the household (cleaning, washing, ironing, cooking,...), help with the animals (muck out, build fences; we have 6 goats, 5 cats, some ducks and a sheep), help with the garage and barn (sort and clean it out).
We also have an old caravan in our garden which needs to be refurbished, so we are looking for some skilled people who can help us with that (also to build a terrace).
We expect work from you for about 4 hours a day and you get 1 days off a week in return of, fresh and loads of food and accommodation.
German, Basic English
We live in a very old, but refurbished farm house. Depending on how many helpers we host, you would either have your own room and would share the facilities with us or share the living room with other helpers.
Burghausen are 3km from here. You can find many culture, pub's and a big jazz festival in march.
If you like to come and visit a nice Bavarian countryside let us know.
We prefer people who are also interested to explore the nature, the region and culture.
The Alps and the Chiemsee are about an hour away from here. Salzburg, Passau or Munich are worth a visit and beautiful cities.
