Description
Dear workawayer, are you looking for a calm and peaceful place, where you can connect with nature, yourself and us? Then this could be the place for you!
We are Bastian and Diana (both 40y) with our daughter Jule (9y). Bastian is a creative person and pastor, who does hiking, bouldering and jugum (kind of yoga) and likes sitting around a campfire. Diana is caring for the family's home and likes going to the gym, writing to-do-lists, enjoying healthy meals and sitting in the silence. Jule is a happy child, who likes to eat chocolate and ice-cream, to cuddle, to swim and practicing ballet. Four goats and a cat are belonging to our family, too.
We live at the rural countryside in the north-east of Baden-Württemberg next to the Bavarian border. Our home is surrounded by a big orchard, where a lot of work is to be done, but we also enjoy the fruits of our garden as well as the beautiful view and peaceful atmosphere. From here you can undertake wonderful walks in the nature or visit big cities within an hour drive like Nuremberg or Stuttgart. Nearby are Rothenburg ob der Tauber or other small ancient cities.
If you choose to stay with us, there are depending on the season different tasks to do (details see below). But you always have the possibility to help shape the work by your own talents and character. We would like to get to know and learn from each other. If you like to, you could always practice German with us.

Help
Help us to cultivate and enjoy the fruits and beautiful landscape of our garden. We'd like to bring a spirit of permaculture into our garden.
Our life as a pastor's family is different each day as well as your tasks will be. If you like to participate in different chores than you are warmly welcomed. Most of the tasks refers to the orchard like harvesting the fruits, weeding, mowing the lawn with a lawn tractor, gardening and producing jam or juice etc. We also have some DIY-Projects to be done like the stable for the goats and cook together the meals that we enjoy afterwards. Some of the chores are constantly to be done, others depend on the season:
- April - June: Redesigning the flower and vegetable gardens, mowing the lawn, weeding, harvesting berries or elder blossoms, recreating the terrace and a chill area under the hazelnut tree.
- July / August: Working in the garden and weeding, building a fence for the goats.
- September/October: Harvesting the wild herbs and fruit trees and producing jam and juice.
- November - March: Cutting the trees and bushes, installing a creative room inside the house.
Most of the jobs can be done alone, but we will also help together on some projects. We are looking forward to learn with you by doing and make new experiences. If you want you can join in our local church.
