Description
Hello everyone,
We are looking for help on our farm. Us is Albrecht (43) and Nina (39), our two dogs Alfa and Rio and our horses.
To our family belongs as well Heiner (67) who is part of our project as well but is not living with us in the house.
We are renovating a listed manor house ensemble, that we have bought almost 6 years ago and renovating since then with natural building materials. It will become a Kunstverein (art club) once its renovated. We have both a background in Fine Arts.
We live on the construction side. Some parts are already nice, some not even touched. We are looking for people that like the charming aspects of our old lady and are fine with non-perfection. We have two rooms for volunteers with a heating system plus wooden stoves. We share all together the bathroom and a big kitchen. We are not a big community project but very open minded people, but as well like to read and spend time meditating or working on our projects. Therefore it's great for people, that like to have some time on their own, too and not necessarily looking for a big vibrant community. We have a bar at our place once a months and are well connected with similar projects in our region. We are in a 120 people village and there are two cities with 6000 inhabitants, supermarkets etc. in 6 km distance. There is not much going on here after September except for a very beautiful nature, time with animals, learning something about natural building materials and historic sides and a lot of space and time for own projects/work/introspective.
We are looking for two workawayers in the time from mid September - end of November. Couples are welcome, too.
Longer stays are preferred.
We are looking forward to get to know you!
Best,
Nina & Albrecht
