  • 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, chicken and our dog. We both have other jobs and fulfilled our dream of living on a small hobby farm. We enjoy the beautiful landscape of the nature reserve of the river Niers. Apart from the animal farming, we love to grow our own fruits and vegetables and to implement projects to make our farm even more beautiful.
    Workawayers with children are very welcome!
