    Description

    We are a small child and youth farm on the edge of the Black Forest, between Freiburg and Basel.
    We have four children aged 9 and 13 years. People in difficult life situations live with us temporarily on the farm.
    We run a small riding school with 10 horses and offer riding tours in the Black Forest.

    Wir sind ein kleiner Kinder- und Jugendbauernhof am Rande des Schwarzwaldes, zwischen Freiburg und Basel.
    Wir haben vier Kinder im Alter von 11 und 14 Jahren. Auf dem Hof leben zeitweise noch Kinder und Erwachsene aus schwierigen Lebenssituationen bei uns in der Familie.
    Wir betreiben eine kleine Reitschule mit 14 Ponys und bieten auch Reittouren im Schwarzwald an. Bei uns leben noch ein paar Ziegen, welche wir im Sommer melken, Hühner, Schafe ein Hund und Kaninchen.
    Wir bevorzugen Work- Awayer, welche länger bei uns bleiben wollen.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Depending on the upcoming project work, we try to provide all the helpers with additional expertise. If you want you can almost always participate in all activities of the family and accompany us on excursions. With us you can learn German around the clock and actively participate in family life. For a longer stay we learn to help our helpers the machines in the yard and many other things we do in everyday life.


    Je nach anstehender Projektarbeit versuchen wir allen Helfern zusätzliches Fachwissen zu ermöglichen. Wenn man möchte kann man fast immer an allen Aktivitäten der Familie teilhaben und uns zu Ausflügen begleiten. Bei uns kann man rund um die Uhr Deutsch lernen und aktiv am Familienleben teilhaben. Bei längerem Aufenthalt lernen wir unseren Helfern die Maschinen auf dem Hof zu bedienen und vieles andere was wir im Alltag erledigen.
