    Description

    Hello, I'm Heinz. I live in the Enns Valley with my wife and our four children (8, 5, 3, and 1). We're all on the path of unschooling. On our small farm, we also have a llama, an alpaca, some chickens and ducks, a cat, and a dog. We cultivate a fairly large garden where we grow and process fruit and vegetables for our family as best we can. We place great value on healthy food and how we prepare it. We would be happy to meet other people, including families, who are open to unschooling or who are following this path themselves. We're looking for people who would support us in our activities and enrich our lives. We welcome those who are interested in gardening, nature, working with animals, household chores, and especially children. Anyone who feels at home in nature and enjoys being outdoors will find plenty of opportunities here. We look forward to hearing from you!

    Hallo, ich bin Heinz.
    Ich lebe mit meiner Frau und unseren 4 Kindern (8,5,3,1) im Ennstal. Wir gehen gemeinsam den Weg des "frei sich bildens" (freilernen). Auf unseren kleinen Hof leben ebenfalls ein Lama, ein Alpaka, einige Hühner und Enten, Katze und Hund. Wir kultivieren einen etwas größeren Garten wo wir Obst und Gemüse für unsere Familie so gut es geht anbauen und verarbeiten. Wir legen großen Wert auf gesunde Lebensmittel und deren Verarbeitung. Wir würden uns freuen andere Menschen, auch Familien kennen zu lernen die dem frei sich bilden positiv aufgeschlossen sind oder selbst diesen Weg gehen. Menschen die uns bei unseren Tätigkeiten unterstützen und unser Leben bereichern. Die Interesse an Gartenarbeit, an der Natur, im Umgang mit Tieren, im Haushalt und vor allem mit Kindern zeigen.
    Wer sich in der Natur wohl fühlt und auch gerne sich in der Natur bewegt, wird bei uns genügend Möglichkeiten finden.
    Wir freuen uns!
