    Description

    We are a community of 47 adults and 30 children in bavaria who live and work together. We live in a wonderful place in the countryside, 50km west of Munich. It`s an old estate with lots of privat homes, a gardening section, a goat farm, a restaurant and a hotel. We started a "Solidarische Landwirtschaft" -Gärtnerei, what means CSA (community-supported-agriculture) 4 years ago. We always have to do some construction-and renovating-work (we live in 100 year old buildings).
    in 2021 we extendes our farm with a herd of goats together with a cheese dairy and a farm shop - so now there is even more work to do - yeay!
    Want to stay longer? - we are part of the ERASMUS+

    We want to work with you for at least 3 weeks or more. Shorter terms are difficult, because you need some days to understand our community and orient yourself and get to know the people and the habits. You should like the countryside and the calm, because the next village is 5km away.
    We need help in summer in the (CSA)-garden: planting, weeding, harvesting. In some seasons, when we renovate buildings we need help in renovating and building. If you want to care for children you can support our parents-group . It depends what people can and want to do- our main work is in the garden and to help with the goats.

    We have bikes available - so it's easily possible to reach the next city, which is 5km away.
    From there you have a train station connecting you to Augsburg and Munich and the rest of the world. But normally it's also possible to drive somewhere with somewone from the comunity.
    Every workawayer has a "personal contact person" from the comunity.
