Help growing healthy Veggies at a beautiful Eco Farm in Bavaria , Germany

Details

• 

  Description

  An old, abandoned farm, beautifully situated on a hill, in the middle of Bavaria will be turned into an Eco Farm over the next few years. Its located near Bad Birnbach, a recreation and golf area near Passau, next to the Austrian border.
  
  As it was abandoned for over 40 years, theres a lot of work to do. The beginning is made. We removed a lot of old stuff which was distributed around the buildings, cut trees and bushes and started to build a traditional hut.
  
  We now start growing vegetables like potatoes, onions, salad, carrots an so on. We've also a greenhouse which helps us when its getting colder.
  
  So if you like working outside on the field and in the garden you're exactly right. We´re always eating and drinking together so theres also work in the kitchen. No special skills are needed, just motivation and good vibes ;-)
  
  My name is Felix, im 34, I bought the farm and over one acre of land last year. Im a freelancer software developer, so my free time can be arranged quite easily.
  Im traveled a lot over the last years. I was in Asia, Australia, North and South America and did an Erasmus exchange in Barcelona. So I´m always interested in meeting new people from all over the world.
