Description
We offer you an unforgettable and valuable experience. Become part of a unique project for a while!
Originally we are from Germany and moved to Romania. Our family (married couple 50 years old and our son 27 years old) create a unique place for animals, plants and people in the midst of the fabulously beautiful Transylvanian hilly landscape. This is the place where you can experience in real life, what it means to be part of the bigger picture.
Our family also includes numerous rare breed horses, goats, dogs, cats and chickens. Together we build a new home in the midst of nature for all of our animals and for ourselves. The horses are breeding and therapy horses, not for riding or dressage. For this purpose, we will create a wide variety of fruit and vegetable gardens using various organic cultivation types, as well as others such as a medicinal herb garden, a food forest and many more.
All proceeds from the gardens are for family and animals (also family members) use only. No products will be sold.
As there are not so nice sides as well as wonderful ones, we took on the topic of street dogs here a few years ago and have since grown into a private sanctuary. There are currently over 100 dogs in the sanctuary.
As the management of the sanctuary/farm is very complex and sometimes requires longer training periods, a minimum stay of 1 month is therefore necessary, but we generally prefer longer stays between 3 - 12 months or open end when it fits for both sides.
We are also especially looking for helpers who have craft training and experience, as there are always many things to create here.
If you are especially enthusiastic about horses, you can apply as a helper / trainee. Your tasks will then be the general caring for the horses. Experience with horses is helpful, but more importantly you should be willing to dedicate yourself to the welfare of the horses and wanting to learn to live together in harmony without pressure and at equilibrium. Your minimum stay should be 6 months if you want to work in the horse sector.
