    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I am originally from England but the rest of our community are from Germany, ages ranging from 27 to our 68 year old Hauptmieter who started this project here three years ago, there is also a traditional small family German farm nextdoor to us, there are lots of opportunities to get to know some German countryside culture, there are also some tourists in our area, lots of walking and cycle ways, nearby nature park and lakes / forests to explore 🏕️ I can cook cook some English food whilst my housemates can provide some German cuisine, we are also looking forward to taste your food, we generally are taking it in turns to cook, each person at least once a week, for this there are eggs from our chickens, fresh produce from our garden and lots of wild things to forage🌱

  • Help

    Help

    We are looking for people who are interested to help us cocreate and transform the place during August/September to also create a small gathering for friends with workshops and outdoor activities, dancing, fire, coming together on our place🍃
    For this we are in the process of making a sauna and a guest hut from upcycled materials, but there are also many other things to do like care for the garden and the vegetables, decorating and taking care of the garden and our small forest, looking after the chickens and playing with the cats, foraging, harvesting and putting love into the the place wherever you feel inspired to contribute, we have the space, tools and materials💫 There is a lot of freedom with the process we can meet together each morning to discuss what needs to be done and what we feel inspired to do, it is however pretty relaxed and not to much pressure to do specific hours, there is plenty of time for spending time together in the garden and also taking time for ourselves✨
