  Description

  My partner and I were mainly doing organic farming from Monday-Thursday. We want to be self sustaining as much as possible We were full time musicians before covid. We are not full time touring musicians anymore, we have taken on new challenges. We are ambitious hippies.
  
  My wife has started a tshirt printing, merchandise, and website company. We have always been artists, and travellers.
  
  I have opened a pub called "Dahlia & Clover" in a town called Bad Bruckenau. It's an Irish Pub with Mexican food. The flower of Mexico is the Dahlia, and Clover represent Ireland. We have live music, and other events every week to keep things interesting.
  
  We bought a big old 10 room house and 2,000 sqm of land in central Germany. We always have cool building projects happening at home that are in progress. We really need help in the garden all the time too. We like to do as much as possible ourselves.
  
  We also own and run the Sinner Rock Music Festival, which is in a place called Sinntal and is in September. We also run other festivals and events. It's always when all the veggies are coming out. At that time we need help in the garden, in the house, etc..
  
  Our house is on the edge of a huge nature reserve. We have a couple of bikes you can use, great hiking, a nice pool in the area, and there is always small traditional events on. We try to get our work away people to stay overnight with different friends and neighbors to see some other sides of lifestyles. Older people, younger people, with kids, without, and hopefully with your kind of people. There are also a lot of cities, towns, and villages nearby that are worth visiting on your days off. Frankfurt, Fulda, Würzburg, Nürmberg, Aschaffenburg, Bad Kissingen, and more. We work with you to get the most out of your stay.
  
  I'm a language fanatic and we are happy to teach you English, German, and can help work on Danish, and Spanish if you want to. I'd like to improve my Swedish, and Portuguese. I am also a trained chef that has worked all over the world as a chef in different cuisines including vegan, veggie, holistic, Mexican, Asian, French, Italian, Seafood, Austrian, Aussie and of course American food too.
  
  As a language and cultural exchange we like to help people do what they want to do for fun and get some local knowledge. Let us know what you would like to learn or accomplish. Write to us and tell us what your plans are and maybe we can help you along the way.
