  Description

  We are a family living in a historical farmhouse in the beautiful surroundings of the Erz mountain area. We moved here in order to live a more sustainable lifestyle, producing our own food. As Tobi is a gardener all the vegetables, herbs, berries and fruit trees grow very well. It serves mainly for self-sufficiency of family and friends/helpers, we sell to surplus via farm store / vegetable boxes on a small scale and trying to only use recycled materials. We grow vegetables and focus on construction projects in the historic farmhouse and on the farm. Current project is the creation of a swimming pond - will soon be completed! After that, the natural stone terrace is waiting for completion, plus a pizza oven made of natural stones.
  
  Tobi is a gardener, Eva art teacher/animated filmprojects and kids (6 and 8).
  
  LOCATION: beautifully situated on a ridge in the eastern Ore Mountains, 40km southeast of Dresden, near the Czech border. It's a calm and rural area, with a whide view into every direction and sometimes spectacular clouds and sunsets.
