Coordinating and building of a simple ekofarm in middle of Germany, Thuringia, between "Saalfeld" and "Hof"

Description

After a long and more than 4 years experience at my Croatian eco farm, I would now like to try to build a new eco project with animals from chickens, geese, turkeys and sheeps on the farm of my father. Much is already available. In addition, I would like to build and expand a garden that is fertilized purely ecologically. We have hot water from solar, are located on an old, not very wide road that is rarely used, are surrounded by forest, meadows, ponds and fields. The entire property is planted with trees of every kind. Despite the obstinacy of my father, I would like to transform the farm more and more self-sufficient and profitable, but it requires persuasiveness that I can not reach alone. The farm is half a hectare, which we mostly use as pastures. We have a dog (she like to walk 3 times a day), 2 cats and my father's rabbits.
In addition to Permaculture and slidshows of traveling through half of Europe and my 4 years of experience of my croatian self-sufficient farm, I paint aquamarells and would be happy to get tips and help with painting. Another dream in addition to my main job as landscape gardener is to set up a atelier in our four-sided farm, which includes also pottery.
