Help around an old farm and experience life in Natendorf, northern Germany

  Description

  We are looking for some help on our farm, mainly gardening, building projects, decluttering, general maintenance and help around the house.
  
  I’m Laura, 23 years old and I’m temporarily back on the farm I grew up on. I just finished my bachelors in event management and am now taking some time off to help on my mother’s farm. About me, I’m into outdoor sports (running, cycling, hiking, skiing), fitness, food, sustainability, watching movies etc. As of right now I life here with my mom, our dog and my grandmother next to us.
  
  While helping on our farm I could really need a helping hand and some company. Since I’m not really experienced in the stuff I’m doing, I’m learning most of it as I go. Your skill level doesn’t matter as long you are happy to learn new stuff and figure things out together with me.
  
  We are located in a small village surrounded by nature near Lüneburg, between Hamburg and Hannover.
  
  In your free time you could visit the cities around us, do outdoor sports or just relax at home. We could also spend some time together, I could for example show you around, we could play cards, watch movies or go for a walk with our dog/ run/ do a cycling trip or come with me to the gym. If you need more privacy and alone time that would work for us too. From time to time I will be gone for a day during the week or a weekend to visit my boyfriend in Hannover.

  Help

  My projects right now are building a storage rack, start an permaculture garden, declutter some buildings, install lights on our driveway, repair some things etc.
  Other tasks for the winter could be painting, design and refurbish our living room and my mom's office. If you are into cooking you are very welcome to do (vegan & vegetarian) cooking as a task during your work time.
  I will be around most of the time and we would work on projects together or separately, depending on the tasks. We will try to adjust the tasks to your skill level and preferences.
