Help us with DIY and building projects on our old farm in Laer, Germany

  Description

  We are a cooperative transforming a 400+ year old family farm located between Münster (Germany) and Enschede (Netherlands) into a Coworking Space while realizing various other projects in the areas of digitalization, sustainability, and agriculture. Our main focus right now is converting an old barn into a functional Coworking Space, and we are looking for people who can help us with finishing the construction site after nearly 3 years of building.
  
  Our farm is nestled in nature, offering both tranquility and a lively atmosphere. You will find plenty of personal space as well as opportunities to connect with others. We are an international mix of residents and visitors, creating a vibrant and diverse community.
  
  Currently, we live with:
  
  Lala (Spanish, 33)
  Hendrik (German, 37)
  Maria (German, 64)
  Vici (German, 29)
  David (German, 31)
  
  During the day, additional people join us to help on the construction site, and our garden, now tended by David, is flourishing so we often do have big lunches with loads of fresh food from the Garden.
  
  We welcome visitors who come to help or simply enjoy a coffee and the serene environment. The cooperative now has a total of 22 members.
  
  Accommodation includes a large house with free rooms available (shared bathrooms and kitchen), and we also welcome campers or caravans.
  
  Join us in this unique project where you can contribute, learn, and be a part of our growing community! Looking forward to get to know you :-)
