I spent two wonderful weeks with Anika and her family this March. From day one, everybody made me feel welcome and made it very easy to find a „home away from home“. I quickly got into the routine of cleaning the stables in the morning, and bringing the horses back in, feeding them and cleaning the paddocks in the afternoon. During my time there,… read more

My time at the Moorhof was short but nice. Thanks to all family members and colleagues at the Moorhof I could quickly learn what and how to do it and my workload was very fair. Also I felt comfortable with Anika and her family as well as sleeping in her parents house and having breakfast with them.

I stayed with the Moorhof-Family for three weeks in December. All of them, Angelika and Johannes, Anika and Björn, Mia and Leefke, were incredibly open and warm-hearted and made it so easy to connect with them and feel included and safe. Thus, I can highly recommend anyone going there.

My stay at the farm was one of the best times i had in my life. Anika and her family make you feel like you are part of the the family. Picking cherries (pick one, eat one!) was my favorite task, right after building fences. It felt so good to be in nature and do "real" work. I am already missing it :)
Hope to see you soon ;)
