Description
Teresa and Michael, we are a couple in our 40s. Six years ago we decided to move from the City of Vienna to the beautiful countryside of Southern Styria. We bought a beautiful 15 acre farm. The land consists of meadows, forest, ponds, a residential building, a guest house, horse stables and a little sheep stable.
We live together with 2 dogs, 3 cats, 3 horses and 4 sheep.
Part of our daily work is- animal care, stable work, fence building and repairs, woodwork. (In summer- brush cutting, chainsawing, mowing and working in the vegetable garden.)
Our guesthouse is frequently rented out as a holiday let and must be prepared accordingly, from mai to October.
In summer we swim in our pond, spending the evenings by a camp fire. Nice horse rides are a part of our everyday life. Michael likes to go fishing and Teresa does a lot of Yoga.
In winter we like to go to the sauna and ice baths.
We live a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle. We are looking for someone to support us, a person who is an animal lover, someone who knows about horses, who can lend us a hand, who can handle a brush cutter and a chainsaw (in summer ;), someone who brings in ideas himself, who enjoys working in nature, and the best would be- if this person likes to play his/her guitar :).
We don’t sell products from our farm. we have a guest house, but we don’t need help there, just in the nature..
