Description
We are a German-Mexican family that lives in the north of the state of Puebla since 20 years. I , Armin agricultural engineer 57 and my wife Isabel, social worker, run a small organic farm with sheep farming and ecotourism.

Help
The helping hours are flexible. There are no special skills required , but it would be good if you like animals, because in addition to the sheep we have have pigs, chickens, rabbits, dogs, cats and others. When needed I could in the evenings a Spanish or German crash course in English offer.

What else ...
In the city of Chignahuapan 6 km away there is a hospital, bank, supermarket , internet and everything that such a Mexican city hast to offer. Our area is not affected by the drug war in the north and here you can enjoy the live in peace. The Rancho is located in the Sierra Madre at 2300 m altitude and the climate is rather cool, for Mexican standards. Chignahuapan and the neighbor town Zacatlan were „Pueblo magico " declared to promote tourism as the area offers many attractions and the little Indian towns located in the Sierra Madre mountains have their own charm .
