Description
We are a pretty colourful bunch of nice people composed of international austrian, german and arabic families and long standing good friends. Actually living here: Feri (1982), Lise (1975) and Mia (1942). The children Layla (2013) and Aisha (2015) are coming regularly to see us. This summer we will englarge our permanent community. Miri (1975), Tom (1970) and Emilia (2012) will relocate their home from Germany to here. That means we will have a lot of action this year with renovating, organizing and cleaning in and around the houses. We also have a lot of different visitors here from all over the world.
We live here, in Lower Austria, in one of the beautiful natural spring water protection areas of the city of Vienna, 100 km south of the city (by train within 1 hour). In a small village in front of the Höllental at the foot of the river Rax, our farm lies on a hill hidden behind ancient giant coniferous trees.
The farm was built over 100 years ago as a guest house, then used as a simple farmhouse and then converted in the style of a century-turnvilla.
From the original stable became another residential house. The old house is still very original (as 100 years ago) and it was not much changed. Until 20 years ago the farm was cultivated. At that time there were animals and vegetables and fruits were cultivated. A fruit tree garden with 50 old fruit trees is still present: there are old apple varieties, pears, plums and cherries. An old glashouse as well as other adjoining buildings (a big workshop, a carpentry, an old chicken house etc.) are also available. However, all buildings must be prepared in order to be able to use them again correctly.
Due to the energy crises we must change/renew our heating system. We have a lot of wood and we must fill up our wood storage for the winter. That means we need help with making collecting/cutting/sorting wood. We must activate the host for the warmer season (putting all winter things in storage, taking out summer tools, cleaning in the garden, around the pool, etc. ) Additionally we started to make a vegetable garden again. We need help with preparing the beds, planting the cuttings/seeds, aranging a water system etc. We need help for Mia (she is over 80years old) like cleaning in and around the houses and cooking.
In summer we have a lot of guests here. We have a big family and lot of friends all over the world. Sometimes we have family events and we need help fot it. That means we must prepare then guest rooms and other things for them. We dont need help with paying guests and all guests relate to family and friends visiting.
We already keep since over 8 years bees (we have 6 sticks currently) and we have two male mini gaots - Max and Moritz. Since one year we have sheeps - this year we already have 8 lamps and we are at the beginnig of taking care of sheeps, that means we must constantly improve their stables, build more fences etc. We need help with taking care of the animals daily. A dachshund lady called Cilli (2016) and 2 wild cats live here, too. In summer Lou (2018), a big sheepdog and middle sized dog Nelly (2021) will move from Germany to here. Also the two cats: Lucy and Findus (2018+2019)
The winters are very hard because of the mountain climate, but mostly with lots of snow. In the warm season, we have lot of fun in and with the nature, a 100 year old still functioning swimming pool, barbecues and much more. The surrounding mountains (Rax, Schneeberg, Semmering etc.) also invites you to explore.
WE ARE GENERALLY LOOKING FOR HELPERS BUT WE PREFER FOR A LONGER PERIOD BECAUSE THE HOST IS VERY BIG AND ITS TO STRESSFUL TO EXPLAIN AND SHOW ALL FOR ONLY TWO WEEKS. WE SEARCH ESPECIALLY STRONG PEOPLE WHO CAN USE FOR EXAMPLE A CHAINSAW ETC AND ARE USED TO WORK INDEPENDENTLY. UNFORTUNATLY PEOPLE WITHOUT THESE SKILLS CAN APPLY TOO ;-) THE OTHER JOBS ARE TAKING CARE OF THE ANIMALS, CLEANING IN AND AROUND THE HOUSES, GARDENING, WOODWORKING, HELPING MIA WITH DAILY TASKS ETC
We want to promote cultural exchange and learning opportunities (especially food and language) for people who are interested!
Hilf uns dabei unsere Tiere (Schafe/Ziegen/Bienen) zu versorgen und vieles mehr, auf unserem wunderschönen Hof in Niederösterreich.
Wir sind ein bunt zusammengewürfelter Haufen lieber Menschen, bestehend aus einer internationalen, österreichisch, deutschen und arabische Familien und langjährigen Freunden, die fix dazugehören.
Derzeit leben hier: Feri (1982), Lise (1975) und Mia (1942). Die Kinder Layla (2013) und Aisha (2015) kommen uns regelmäßig besuchen. Im Sommer werden wir uns erweitern, Miri (1975), Tom (1970) and Emilia (2012) werden ihren Wohnsitz aus Deutschland hierher verlegen. Dh, wir werden dieses Jahr viel Action haben mit Renovieren, Sortieren, Organisieren und Putzen in und um die Häuser.
Es kommen auch immer wieder verschiedenste Leute aus der ganzen Welt zu Besuch.
Wir leben hier, in Niederösterreich, in einem der wunderschönen naturbelassenen Quellwasserschutzgebieten der Stadt Wien, 100 km südlich der Großstadt (mit dem Zug innerhalb 1 h zu erreichen). In einem kleinen Dorf vor dem Höllental am Fuße der Rax, liegt unser Hof auf einem Hügel versteckt hinter uralten riesigen Nadelbäumen.
Der Hof wurde vor über 100 Jahren als Gasthaus erbaut, dann als einfaches Bauernhaus genutzt und dann im Stil einer Jahrhundertwendevilla umgebaut.
Aus dem ursprünglichen Stall wurde ein weiteres Wohnhaus. Das alte Haus ist noch sehr ursprünglich (wie vor 100 Jahren) und es wurde nicht viel verändert. Bis vor 20 Jahren wurde der Hof bewirtschaftet. Damals gab es Tiere und es wurde Gemüse und Obst angebaut. Ein Obstbaumgarten mit 50 alten Obstbäumen ist immer noch vorhanden: es gibt alte Apfelsorten und Kirschen. Ein altes Glashaus sowie Nebengebäude (große Werkstatt, Tischlerei, Hühnerstall etc.) sind auch noch vorhanden. Jedoch müssen die Gebäude, um sie wieder richtig nutzen zu können, hergerichtet werden.
Aufgrund der Energiekrise müssen wir unser Heizsystem erneuern. Wir haben sehr viel Holz und wir müssen unsere Holzlager für den Winter auffüllen. Dh, wir brauchen Hilfe beim Holz sammeln, schneiden/sägen und sortieren. Wir müssen den Host für den Sommer vorbereiten (Wintersachen verräumen, die Sommerwerkzeuge herausräumen, den Garten/Pool auf sommerfit machen, etc. ) Zusätzlich haben wir dieses Jahr wieder begonnen einen Gemüsegarten anzulegen. Wir brauchen Hilfe, die Beete anzulegen, Stecklinge/Samen zu setzen, das Wassersystem wieder verlegen. Wir brauchen Hilfe für Mia (sie ist über 80 Jahre alt) beim Putzen drinnen und draußen und Kochen.
Im Sommer haben wir immer viele Gäste hier. Wir haben eine große Familie und Freunde auf der ganzen Welt. Manchmal machen wir Familien Events und brauchen dafür Hilfe. Dh. wir müssen dann für sie Gästezimmer herrichten und andere Dinge. Wir brauchen keine Hilfe für bezahlende Gäste und alle Gäste, die uns besuchen sind Familie und Freunde
Wir halten seit über 8 Jahren erfolgreich Bienen (6 Stöcke gibt es derzeit wir hatten diesen Winter viele Verluste) und wir haben zwei Zwergziegenböcke Max und Moritz. Seit 1 Jahr haben wir Schafe und dieses Jahr 8 Lämmer bekommen. Wir sind noch ganz am Anfang der Schafhaltung, dh wir müssen den Stall weiter verbessern, weitere Zäune bauen, etc. Wir müssen die Tiere täglich versorgen und sind über jede Unterstützung dankbar. Eine Dackeldame namens Cilli und 2 Wildkatzen leben auch hier. Im Sommer ziehen noch Lou (2018) ein großer Hirtenhund, Nelly (2021) eine mittelgroße Hundedame und zwei Katzen Lucy und Findus (2018, 2019) hierher.
Die Winter sind aufgrund des Gebirgsklimas sehr hart, aber dafür auch meist mit viel Schnee wunderschön. In der warmen Jahreszeit haben wir viel Spaß in und mit der Natur, ein 100 Jahre altes noch immer funktionsfähiges Schwimmbad, lustige Grillabende und vieles mehr. Die umliegende Bergwelt (Rax, Schneeberg, Semmering etc.) lädt auch zum erkunden ein.
WIR SUCHEN IMMER HELFER, ABER WIR BEVORZUGEN LEUTE DIE FÜR EINEN LÄNGEREN ZEITRAUM KOMMEN WOLLEN. DER HOST IST SEHR GROß UND ES IST EINFACH ZU STRESSIG FÜR UNS ALLES NUR FÜR 2 WOCHEN ZU ZEIGEN UND ZU ERKLÄREN. WIR SUCHEN SPEZIELL NACH KRÄFTIGEN LEUTEN, DIE ZB MIT EINER MOTORSÄGE ETC UMGEHEN KÖNNEN UND GENERELL SELBSTÄNDIG ARBEITEN KÖNNEN. ANDERE, DIE DIESE FÄHIGKEITEN NICHT HABEN, KÖNNEN SICH ABER GERNE AUCH BEWERBEN ;-) DIE ANDEREN JOBS SIND: UNSERE TIERE BETREUEN, IM UND UM DIE HÄUSER HERUM PUTZEN, GARTENARBEIT; HOLZARBEIT, MIA BEI IHREN TÄGLICHEN TÄTIGKEITEN HELFEN USW

As we have so many projects for which we don't always have enough time we badly need everytime help around house and farm.
Cleaning (house, stables, garages etc) has to be done daily.
Renovating, sorting, organizing
Woodcutting (prepare wood for winter) need to be done during the whole year.
We have to take care of the goats and sheeps and the bees ( cleaning the stable, feeding hey, harvesting honey, parasite treatment, feeding, controls, etc.)
We always welcome the know-how of a plumber and electrical system!
If you are not able to keep you and your surroundings clean it is not the right place for you!
Volunteers with skilled talents are really advantageous.
Due to our experiences and the dimension of the host, we prefer a longer stay of the volunteers! You need around one week to get to know everything here - thats why we suggest a minimum stay of 2 weeks. A longer stay is better for an easier living together! But due to a lot of different projects - don't hesitate to send us anyway an enquiry also for a short stay!
Aufräumen/Putzen (Haus, Werkstatt, Ställe, Garage usw) rund um Haus und Hof gibt es immer.
Renovieren, Sortieren, Organisieren
Holzarbeiten (Bäume fällen/auslichten/Holz richten für den Winter) fallen das ganze Jahr an. Die Ziegen, Schäfchen und die Bienen müssen betreut werden (Stall ausmisten, Heu geben, Honigernte, Parasitenbehandlungen, Fütterungen, Kontrollen, etc)
Auch Installateur und Elektrik Kenntnisse sind immer sehr hilfreich, da es im Haus einige Baustellen gibt.
Wenn du nicht in der Lage bist DICH und DEINE UMGEBUNG sauber zu halten, ist dies nicht der richtige Platz für dich!
Handwerkliche Fähigkeiten jeglicher Art von Vorteil!
Da unser Platz sehr groß ist, haben wir die Erfahrung gemacht, dass uns längere Aufenthalte lieber sind! Man benötigt ca eine Woche um alles kennen zu lernen - deshalb ist ein Mindestaufenthalt von 2 Wochen besser. Zudem ist für uns das Zusammenleben leichter, wenn die Leute länger bleiben! Da wir aber immer viele verschiedene Projekte haben, zögert nicht auch für kurze Aufenthalte anzufragen!Langues parlées

We are an open minded, uncomplicated and funny family. We love to integrate our helpers if possible in our lives.
As we are busy in many different fields it can happen sometimes that we don't have time to look after our guests around the clock. We would like to work with people who like to think independently, who can notice after a while by themeselves what should be done, who i.e. make dinner for themselves or for all of us, or take care of jobs by themselves.
In some periods of the year, especially in the summer, a lot of different people are here and in some periods it can be very quiet here, too.
-DONT COME HERE IF YOU ONLY WANT TO MAKE HOLIDAYS FOR FREE, AND YOU THINK YOU CAN FOOL US. WE DEVELOPED A VERY GOOD FEELING AND WE FIND OUT QUICKLY WHO DOESNT TAKE IT SERIOUS -
If it turns out, there is also the possibility for a longer stay, to live together and to work on projects together!
Wir sind eine offene, unkomplizierte und lustige Familie incl Freunden. Wir integrieren unsere Helfer gerne, wenn möglich in unser Leben. Da wir aber in sehr vielen verschiedenen Bereichen tätig sind, kann es auch mal vorkommen, dass wir keine Zeit haben, uns rund um die Uhr um unsere Gäste zu kümmern. Wir wenden uns generell an Leute, die mitdenken, dh die nach einer Zeit auch von alleine sehen was zu tun ist und die auch mal einen Tag selbständig verbringen können! Dh sich auch mal selber etwas zum Essen machen oder für uns alle kochen, auch Aufgaben alleine erledigen etc. Zeitweise ist hier sehr viel los und es sind viele verschiedene Leute hier, speziell im Sommer, dann kann es auch mal sehr ruhig sein hier.
- NUR WIR WOLLEN KEINE LEUTE HIER, DIE NUR BEI UNS GRATIS URLAUB MACHEN WOLLEN UND DENKEN SIE KÖNNEN UNS ETWAS VORMACHEN. WIR HABEN EIN GUTES GEFÜHL ENTWICKELT UND MERKEN GANZ SCHNELL, WER DAS GANZE NICHT ERNST NIMMT!!! -
Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit, wenn es sich ergibt und die Chemie passt ;-) auch für länger zu bleiben, um gemeinsam zu leben und an Projekten zu arbeiten!Informations complémentaires
