  Description

  *** WELCOME ***
  
  Hello dear travelers!
  We are a small collective that is in many ways under construction. After several years of traveling and participating in various projects and collectives, we moved to our big farm in summer of 2018.Throughout the years different people have moved in and out, we hosted events and punk parties, built stuff and torn stuff down, made DIY art and music and had many guests who brought their magic to DLP. Recently it has been quieter here, the place is transforming and there are „only“ two people living here permanently. As community people we love to welcome our beloved friends/guest/workawayers/travellers from far and wide!
  We mostly speak english here, but you might also hear some german, french and some random spanish words from time to time. If you’re looking for french language immersion, this might not be the perfect place for that.
  
  ***ANIMALS***
  Animal-wise there are up to three dogs (medium sized, friendly), some chicken, a herd of 9 goats and soon also 5 small sheep whose shelter we’re currently working on! There’s also a cat who lives here, but she enjoys her freedom and we don’t see her daily. We value these people with our whole heart, they move pretty freely around our farm which you might want to keep in mind when thinking of taking your dog/kid/meerschweinchen with you.
  
  ***WHAT TO DO***
  We have a vegetable and herb garden (which is currently mostly surviving on its own, unfortunately), are in the process of improving our wood workshop and a metal workshop. In addition, a screen printing studio is going to be set up. This winter we are building a sheep house, plus there are always some smaller DIYs that can entertain you during your stay. Cooking (we are not vegan but love vegan/veggie food!), making music, cutting wood, going for a walk, having a nice conversation, weeding, daydreaming… just a short overview of possible things. There’s a lot you can do and not a lot you have to do – just come as you are and bring your energy and interests!
  
  ***VALUES***
  Eventhough we're living in the remote countryside, it's important to us to deal with political issues. We are queer / LGBTQIA+ friendly and strive to treat all people with respect and care. We're not perfect at this and you don't have to be. We want to continue learning, from you and with you. Among other things, this fundamental attitude means that we cannot tolerate any form of enmity towards any group - anyone representing or endorsing such attitudes should not contact us.
  We are also rather pragmatic people who tend to question religions and spiritual orientations.

  Accommodation

  HOW DO YOU LIVE HERE
  
  We can offer you a private space in one of our guest waggons or one of the two bedrooms in the house (all of them heated with a wood oven). For groups there is a dormitory in the maisonnette. We have parking possibilities for a few vans, trucks and campers and a meadow for camping, if you bring tents.
  We share a bathroom with a bathtub in the common house, outdoor dry toilets and a wc in the house.
  
  We often eat together in the evening but everyone is free to eat where and when they want of course. Most of us eat vegetarian cuisine, sometimes also meat and fish. We are happy to adapt to vegan.
  
  Unfortunately, our farm is not without obstacles (to people with reduced mobility).
  
  You can tell us your personal needs whatever they may be and we can try to accommodate them.

  COMMENT VIVEZ-VOUS ICI
  
  Nous pouvons vous proposer un espace privé dans l'une de nos roulottes ou dans une des deux chambres de la maison (tout avec chauffage au poêle à bois). Pour les groupes, il y a un dortoir dans la maisonnette, des possibilités de stationnement pour quelques vans, camions et véhicules de camping et un pré pour le camping, si vous amenez des tentes.
  Nous partageons une baignoire dans une salle de bain dans la maison commune, des toilettes sèches extérieurs et des toilettes dans la maison.
  
  Nous mangeons souvent ensemble le soir mais chacun est libre de manger où et quand il veut bien sûr. Pour la plupart, nous mangeons de la cuisine végétarienne, parfois aussi de la viande et du poisson. Nous sommes content.e.s de nous adapter au végan.
  
  Malheureusement, notre ferme n'est pas sans obstacles (aux personnes à mobilité réduite).
  
  Vous pouvez nous dire vos besoins personnels quels qu'ils soient et nous pourrons essayer d'y répondre.

  WIE IHR HIER LEBT
  
  Wir können Euch einen privaten Raum in einem unserer Gästewagen oder in einem der beiden Schlafzimmer des Hauses anbieten (alle mit Holzofen beheizbar). Für Gruppen gibt es einen Schlafraum in der Maisonnette. Ausserdem gibt es Parkmöglichkeiten für einige Vans, Lastwagen oder Wohnmobile und eine Campingwiese, wenn ihr Zelte mitbringt.
  Wir teilen uns ein Badezimmer mit Badewanne im Gemeinschaftshaus, Trockentoiletten im Freien und ein WC im Haus.
  
  Abends essen wir oft gemeinsam, aber es steht natürlich allen frei, zu essen, wann und wo sie möchten. Wir essen meistens vegetarisch, manchmal auch Fleisch und Fisch. Wir stellen uns auch gerne auf vegane Ernährung ein.
  
  Leider ist unser Hof nicht barrierefrei (für Menschen mit eingeschränkter Mobilität).
  
  Persönliche Bedürfnisse jeder Art könnt Ihr uns gerne mitteilen. Wir werden versuchen, diesen gerecht zu werden. Ob, wie und wie gut das geht können wir zusammen per Mail klären.

  Can possibly accept pets

  We are happy to host animals as long as they are friendly to everyone on the farm, especially children and animals. Our cat and chickens run free on the farm and should not have to fear. As one of our females is quiet bitchy, it can be difficult to host female dogs. * * * * * Nous sommes heureux d'accueillir des animaux à condition qu'ils soient gentils avec tous les habitant(e)s de la ferme, en particulier les enfants et les animaux. Notre chatte et nos poulets courent en liberté dans la ferme et ne doivent pas avoir peur. * * * * * Wir freuen uns, Tiere zu hosten, solange sie freundlich zu allen auf dem Hof sind, speziell zu Kindern und Tieren. Unsere Katzen und Hühner laufen frei auf dem Hof und sollen sich nicht zu fürchten brauchen.
