Description
Hallo!
We are a little family community: in the main house we are Maren, Katha, daughter Mia, little daughter Cornelia and dog Ruby and the "facility manager" and father of the girls Ivo is living next door in the circus wagon . After traveling many parts of this earth we bought an old farmhouse in the south-east of Bavaria, pulled it down and started creating a new home made of straw, wood and cley. Here is also a lot of work waiting in the garden and our daughters and dog Ruby want to be entertaint all the time... We like to build up a small community here and we want to open this place for travelers like we have been for the last decade.
We are just getting started and we have a vision, so come around and help us realizing it!
See you :)

we are happy to share all we have learned travelling and we collected quite a lot of knowledge about different handcrafts and "do-it-yourself-experiances". We both work in a circus, training children and beeing artits, so we can offer to teach some tricks and artistic skills too.

Help
Coming up tasks/work in Oktober and November:
With the leaves falling down , it is time to lop the trees (cut branches) and built shelter for hedgehogs and other animals. Bigger logs need to be chopped and stack up ... making firewood is always on the schedule.
on top i need help to plant around 20 little trees.
We always need help with the daily chores, like cleaning and cooking together. In general our meals are vegetarian and we try to grow and produce at least parts of every meal by ourselfs... but it is important for us not to be docmatic in our believes (sometimes Pizza is perfect :) )!
And we defenitly need your helping hands to realize the big plan!!
We prefer people who can stay longer than 7 days and have a little experience in construction work, sustainable living and who can help and live quite independently.
