Description
We are a couple of German and Turkish origin. We bought the farm in 2011 with three parties and have renovated it until now. Taner is an educator and Hanne is a stonemason and lighting designer. Hanne is working part-time at the moment and Taner is working as an educator. So we have time in the afternoon and on weekends to work in the garden and in the house. We are not vaccinated.

Help
Hello,
We nee somebody right now, if you are in Germany, yust say Hallo.
I work in the garden whith electroculture and permaculture.
Here I can use your help well. Otherwise, we want to build a climbing frame for the vine and this year to insulate and clad a facade of our house.
For this we can also use energetic handicraft support. In the house we want to clean up and tidy.
Otherwise, there are always many small things that the house and the garden should still beautify.

You have been staying with us for four weeks and we have shared many things together. Work in the garden, mostly earth digging but also other things like building a stone wall, mowing lawns, stacking stones. You have willingly done the work even though they were a bit exhausting and monotonous ... I think you have learned a lot.… read more
We've done lots of things together, polishing floors, building a wall, making a compost. It was us, not just me. Staying for 2 weeks with them, I learned so many things, more importantly I had fun while getting the job done. In our free time… read more
It was great that you helped us in the garden and built a stone wall with us. It was easy for us to get in touch with you, because you speak very good German and English. You were curious to learn new things and it was not bad to get dirty through the compost :)
We wish you all the best on your way, come back to us at home.
