Descripción
After having travelled the world quite a bit, we decided to finally settle on a piece of land. As a family of 5, we've since been growing our food forest on roughly 3000 square meters which includes more than 200 edible, perennial species of plants (and many more varieties) so far. While we do grow all the fruits, nuts and herbs that are native to our area, we also like to push the limits of what is possible to grow in our climate zone (officially 7a, although our location in a valley next to a major river probably makes it more like 7b or even 8a). As the climate crisis escalates, we like to experiment with growing lots of figs, pomegranades, kadsuras and many other plants that are both cold-hardy and drought-resistant. Next to our garden is a vast meadow where our neighbours' sheep and cattle graze. There, we grow lots of fruit trees together with our neighbours and friends from our village.
Our (perennial) veggie growing in raised-beds are the heart of the garden, designed with regard to permaculture principles which, for us, includes chickens, ducks and geese which eat slugs and gras while fertilizing our soil. We practice no-dig gardening with heavy mulching and zero to little watering.
We like to grow and preserve as much of our food as possible, always keen to try out new techniques and recipes.
The Kids go to school and kindergarden during week days while we work (part time) mostly from home (as an educational scientist and a journalist).
You are warmly invited to live and eat with us. We can offer either a guest room inside the house (winter months) or a fully-equipped trailer van in our garden for the summer.
Especially during the summer months, we also have quite a few people coming by to set up their tents for a night in our garden.
We live right by the "Weserradweg" R99 (Germany's most frequented and most popular biking and hiking path). Hiking is also very good in the surrounding low mountain ranges and forests. There are several lakes nearby which are great for swimming. Göttingen and Paderborn (old cities with student life) can both be reached directly via train in around 45min (we have a train station right in our village). The next bigger city Höxter, where you can get anything you need, can be reached by bus or bike within 20min.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

Happy to exchange knowledge :)
