Description
After many years of living with guests from workaway I still wait for every new helper with great confidence: Interesting people from all over the world are enriching my life and help me with the work on the farm. A lot of them became friends and we still stay in touch. I could teach them how to live and work with horses, live out of the own garden and a lot of them tried the linedancing. They brought me the knowlegde about life in their country and I learned plenty of new recepies so I now have a special cookbook. I also met many super talented musicians, painters, and helpers with my computer tasks!
So if you look for a familylike place with an international touch (I speak german, english and french), and you are not allergic to dogs, cats, chicken, hay or horses in an amazing landscape and most beautiful sunrises you will be welcomed!

You will meet many people while living with us and following me around to the daily work, the special events and meet the riding clients. If you want you can learn a lot about vegetable gardening, international cooking, horses, and I speak german, english and french fluently. I am a line dance freak. You could learn more about your own capabilities by working with manual tools.

The stay at Elkes place was amazing. I felt so welcome. Her Kitchen/Livingroom is always open. There is always fresh bred, and nice people around. It's very, very warm atmosphere and there is plenty of free time during the day. I'm really looking forward to visit her place again :)

Well, what can I say about this magnificent place, all the comments here are true, Elke is an extraordinary person with whom you can talk about any topic, learn from her experience, listen to her stories, dance and eat delicious every day, especially in the nights. The place is quiet, simple work and the atmosphere is surrounded by good people.
