    Description

    After 1 year unsuccessful search, we found our farm, with 330 square meters of living space, full basement, plenty of outbuildings and some pastureland. The house was built in the 50's and is therefore in need of renovation and renovation. As of the end of May 2016, we will be renovating our farm and moving to the ground floor in September 2016, making the well-preserved barns and stables afloat again. Our wish list is long, but we are happy to take you with us!
    I've always been a creative nose, maybe sometimes a bit stubborn, so I've gone through a very special way of life that has brought us here now. With the responsibility for my children, the knowledge about our earth grew and how we deal with it, we hit it with hands and feet, it gets worse and worse ... but everyone can do it a little bit better and so we decided to do it to live more ecologically and consciously and eventually fulfill the dream of self-sufficiency and to live free of cosmonauts. A long way, but I feel more and more, how right and good it feels.
    We currently have 3 horses, 4
    5 dairy sheep and lambs, 8+ baby chickens, 3 ducks, 2 dogs, 1 cat with 2 pigs, now finally bees.
    Usual tasks on our farm: milking of sheep, sheep shearing and milk processing, wool processing, cultivation of a self-care garden, cooking / processing of vegetables and fruits, feeding of animals, collecting and processing of herbs, pottery, sewing, ecological renovation, repairs, beekeeping preparations for the Winter You can expect different projects!
    In summer/autmn we want to built our outdoorkitchen. So, we'll be so happy and full of love, if you can help us.
