UPDATE 06.05.2021:
AFTER 20 years in our current place, we decided to leave Germany and move our whole farm to Portugal! Our new place there is very similar, just bigger with 56 ha in Naturepark São Mamede.
Our move is taking place during next weeks.
If there is anyone out there, who would be interested to go to Portugal next and help us with the moving process, this could be your chance! We are driving our stuff ourselves, so could need somedody with driver licence to change the driver during the long way.
We are a family and live on a 20-ha remote farm. Our farm is located in a nature reserve, on the foot of the Königsberg in North Palatinate highlands.
We parents, Anne 41 (born in Finland) and Moriz 46, work in invidual pedagogik with youngsters who are difficult to reach and also travel weekends with our market stall on various medieval markets and festivals in Germany and neighboring countries. Our 3 children Laura, Anton and Valentin are 13, 17 and 20 years old.
On our farm live also 5 horses, a dog and a cat.
We have a small home garden.
We have built our house largely ecological and independent of energy: electricity comes from solar energy and water from its own source, central heating is operated by wood burning stove.

Unsere 3 Kinder Laura, Anton und Valentin sind 13-, 17- und 20-Jahre alt.
Auf unserem Bauernhof leben ausserdem 5 Pferde, ein Hund und eine Katze.
Wir haben einen kleinen Hausgarten.
Unsere Haus haben wir weitgehend ökologisch und Energieunabhängig gebaut: Strom kommt von Solarenergie und Wasser von eigener Quelle, Zentralheizung wird über Holzofen betrieben.
