  • Description

    Description

    We are a nature-loving family with two wonderful children (2 and 7 years) and we live on our small farm with horses, goats, chickens and our dog. We both have other jobs and have fulfilled our dream of living on a small hobby farm. We enjoy the beautiful landscape in the nature reserve along the river Niers. Apart from caring for animals, we love to grow our own fruit and vegetables and to implement projects to make our farm even more beautiful.
    We also like to travel ourselves. We mainly travel in Europe with our caravan.
    Workawayers with children are very welcome!
