We were really looking forward to helping out on the farm and we weren't disappointed. Steve enjoyed helping out with the more physical tasks whilst Fiona did a bit of planting and looking after the dogs. Francie and Christoph are the most generous, kind, helpful, knowledgeable and down to earth people you could wish to meet and their daughter is
… read more sweet, sassy and very competive - we loved playing card and board games with her. Christoph can build or fix absolutely anything and Francie is one of the most determined yet sweet people we've ever met. Together they make the perfect family and made us part of that family. They went out of their way to help us and taught us a lot about horses, baking, being self sufficient, reducing food waste etc. We will miss their way of life and the excellent meals they cooked every night. We would absolutely recommend Francie and Christoph. Wonderful hosts but more importantly, wonderful people. Put simply, we live in a self sufficient motorhome with our own income stream and we're travelling the world. We stopped by to see what farm life was about and maybe stay for a week and yet enjoyed it so much, we stayed for a month. If it wasn't for visas not allowing us, we would have stayed forever.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Our worst Workaway experience was saying goodbye to Fiona Steve Riley and Cookie.Having them with us for a month was an absolute gift. Their departure felt like losing a part of the family. They brought warmth, endless fun and joy into our home, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the time we shared.
They truly deserve nothing but the best. If

All our heart is with them on their journey, wherever life may take them. We deeply, truly hope to meet them again – but even more than that, we wish that only the very best happens to them and that all their dreams come true.
Thank you, Fiona and Steve – you’ll always have a place in our hearts and fields.

Hey ihr alle!
Spannende und schöne drei Wochen waren das! Franzi, Chris und Rosalie haben mich auf ihrem Hof ganz spontan mit Selbstverständlichkeit aufgenommen.
Ich hatte meine eigene kleine Wohnung im Nachbarort & ein geliehenes Rad für den Weg und Erkundungstouren. Gearbeitet habe ich hauptsächlich mit Chris und dem Angestellten Józsy. Ihn

Ich habe einiges lernen können und hatte bei der Arbeit meist Spaß! Von so vielen Tieren umgeben zu sein war wunderschön.
Danke für die Erfahrungen!

It was an exciting and wonderful three weeks! Franzi, Chris and Rosalie spontaneously welcomed me to their farm with a matter of course.
I had my own little apartment in the neighboring village & a borrowed bike for commuting and exploring. I mainly worked with Chris and the employee Józsy. I supported him with the work around the animals. I worked with Chris on the renovation and construction work on the farm.
I was able to learn a lot and mostly had fun at work! Being surrounded by so many animals was wonderful.
Thank you for the experience!Left by host for Workawayer (Mara)
Mara kam sehr spontan zu uns – und wir haben sie sofort mit offenen Armen aufgenommen. Vom ersten Moment an war sie voller Tatendrang, offen, interessiert und hat sich in alle Aufgaben eingebracht, die unser Hof zu bieten hat. Ob Stallarbeit, Garten, Bauarbeiten oder Kinderbespaßung – Mara hat sich in allem versucht, war zuverlässig, motiviert und

Für unsere Familie – besonders für unsere Tochter – ist sie schnell zu einer echten Freundin geworden. Wir haben sie sehr ins Herz geschlossen.
Da eine unserer Angestellten ausfiel, war Mara für uns die Rettung in der Not. Sie hat ihre Rolle mit so viel Natürlichkeit übernommen, als hätte sie nie etwas anderes gemacht. Sie war stets fleißig, hat nie auf die Uhr geschaut, überall mitgeholfen und immer wieder nachgefragt, um Neues zu lernen.
Wir sind unglaublich dankbar für ihre Zeit bei uns – und wünschen ihr von Herzen alles Gute für ihren weiteren Weg. Mara, du bist bei uns jederzeit wieder willkommen: Du hast noch eine Reitstunde gut 🙂
Mara joined us very spontaneously – and we welcomed her with open arms. From the very first moment, she was full of energy, open-minded, curious, and eager to get involved in all the work and opportunities our farm has to offer. Whether it was stable work, gardening, construction work, or entertaining our daughters, Mara jumped in with commitment, reliability, and a big heart.
She quickly became a real part of the family – especially close to our daughter, who absolutely adored her.
As one of our employees suddenly dropped out, Mara was truly our lifesaver. She stepped into the role so naturally, it felt like she’d been doing it forever. Always hardworking, never watching the clock, and happy to help wherever needed. She was constantly asking questions to learn more and improve herself.
We are incredibly grateful for the time she spent with us – and we wish her all the best for her journey ahead.
Mara, you're always welcome back here – and don’t forget, you still have a riding lesson waiting for you 🙂Feedback
