Description
Hello everyone,
we are an old couple living 5 cats and 15 chicken in an old farm in a small village in a mountainous landscape.
Our farm has 1100 square meters with an 900 square meters garden. A few years ago we bought the farm and started to restore everything. But we are not finished yet and both getting old and a bit weak. Until the end of 2021 our grandmother lived with us, but died after long sickness.
We leave here in harmony with the nature. Our garden is organically grown and everyhing around us is green.
The house is great and has two big barns with hay. But inside it looks more like a building site caused of the renovation.
We already have no experience as workaway volunteers but we are looking forward to the adventure of being hosts.
Our english is not the "yellow of the egg" but we try to do our best :)
For conversation here at the platform our son Rouven will write with you because he knows better.

Accommodation
There are 2 rooms with bed and shower for you in our house with a separated entrance. But please don't expect luxury here, they are not completely renovated. But you can sleep in them and live in them for a while without any problems. You wouldn't be the first there and our son also sleeps there when he's visiting (not when you're there)
But if you prefer we also could offer you a tent :)
You are always invited to take ur meals together with us.
What else ...
Our village is very small in a beautiful mountainous landscape. There is no tourism. And nothing else but cows or some pigs. We have a bus stop, but we also could give you sometimes a lift to explore the area.
