My experience with Freya and David was amazing from beginning to end. They are two incredibly hardworking and kind-hearted people who made me feel at home from the very first day. I arrived on a Sunday, which happened to be their community day, a lovely tradition where friends and neighbors come together to help with tasks on the farm and share a
… read more meal afterward. That evening we had a bonfire, a delicious dinner made by one of the other Workawayers, and we stayed up late talking, getting to know each other, and listening to music. It was the perfect way to arrive.
Communication with them was excellent from the start. About a week before arriving, I had a call with David, who explained everything clearly and answered all my questions. He also sent me a list of things I should bring, like a sleeping bag, rain boots, and comfortable clothes, which was super helpful. When I got to the farm, Freya took the time to give me a full tour, explain how everything worked, and walk me through the daily and weekly routine.
Each morning at 9:30 we had a short meeting with Freya or David to go over the tasks for the day. Working hours were usually until 4 or 5 p.m., but it depended on the type of work that needed to be done. Sometimes it was a bit more, sometimes less, and they were always very understanding, if you were tired, you could take a break, which I really appreciated. I got to do a wide variety of tasks, from weeding garden beds and planting potatoes, beans, zucchinis, asparagus, and hedges, to feeding the chickens, painting a shed, protecting plants with sheep wool, harvesting vegetables, classifying wooden logs, watering, and even baking bread with a neighbor. Every day felt different and meaningful. We had Sundays and Mondays off, which gave me time to rest or go on day trips, it was completely up to us.
The accommodation was also great. There’s a spacious and bright room for Workawayers with space for 2–3 people, individual beds, and a large closet for our belongings. They provide a fitted sheet, but you should bring your own sleeping bag or quilt. For me, the room was super comfortable and stayed warm even when it was cold outside. We shared the kitchen and bathroom with other Workawayers and one of the farm’s tenants, who occasionally passes through the room, so don’t be surprised if you see someone walking in, but he lives in a separate space. There’s also a beautiful communal area called the “community room,” where we ate our meals, relaxed, and spent time together.
As for meals, we were responsible for preparing our own breakfast and lunch, while dinner was prepared either by Freya, David, or one of the Workawayers. Everyone takes turns cooking dinner once a week, which was a nice way to share and try different meals together. Once a week, Freya or David go to the supermarket, and we were asked to write down anything we needed on a shared shopping list so they could bring it back for us. The food was always abundant and of great quality, and I especially appreciated how conscious and intentional they were about eating well.
The location itself is absolutely stunning. The love and care Freya and David put into the farm is visible everywhere, and the surrounding landscape, sunrises, sunsets, and starry skies made every moment feel special. The town of Schleswig is about an hour away by bus and is lovely to visit. I was lucky to have the Deutschland ticket, so I also took day trips to Hamburg, Sylt, and Lübeck on my days off.
One of the things I loved most was how much I learned. Freya and David were always willing to share their knowledge about plants, animals, and gardening, and were happy to answer all of my questions. I also learned a lot about German culture during my stay, which I really appreciated. I was lucky to be there during their birthday party, which we celebrated with a lovely party on my last day. They even invited my husband, who lives in Hamburg, to join the celebration and spend the night. We had a beautiful evening with delicious food, games, music, and a bonfire, it was the most perfect goodbye I could have imagined.
I absolutely recommend Freya and David as hosts. This was my first Workaway experience, and even though I was nervous at first, they made me feel so welcome and cared for. It ended up being one of the most beautiful and meaningful experiences of my life. I felt deeply connected to nature, became more mindful of the food I eat, and gained a new appreciation for people who dedicate their lives to producing quality, organic food. I left with a full heart and hope to return someday!

Es war richtig schön, Tanja hier zu haben! Sie war super hilfsbereit, hat überall mit angepackt und dabei immer eine angenehme Ruhe ausgestrahlt.
Ob im Garten, beim Säen, Jäten oder Pflanzen – sie war mit viel Interesse und Aufmerksamkeit dabei. Und obendrein hat sie auch noch richtig lecker für uns gekocht!

Ich habe eine tolle Woche bei Freya und David verbracht. Es war sehr spannend, so viele neue Pflanzen zu entdecken und über sie zu lernen. Freya und David sind 2 warmherzige und interessante Personen. Auch ihre Katze ist super süss, genau so wie ihre Hühner. Ich hab mich von Anfang an wohl gefühlt und vor allem die spannenden Gespräche und das

Meine Aufgaben waren rächt unterschiedlich; Unkraut aus Beeten entfernen damit sie bereit sind um Sachen anzupflanzen, Beerensträucher einpflanzen, Wildblumen ansähen, und, und. Ihr Nachbar ist Bäcker und an einem Tag durfte ich ihm sogar beim Brotbacken helfen. Das war auch richtig cool! Ansonsten ist Flensburg auch gut zu erreichen für einen Tagesausflug; sehr zu empfehlen!
Ich konnte diese Woche so viel Inspiration sowohl für Sachen im Garten als auch für Rezepte und Bücher mitnehmen; vielen, vielen Dank!
Ich freue mich schon vielleicht im Sommer mal wieder zu kommen und zu sehen wie der Garten dann in voller Pracht aussieht!
Takuto and Azusa stayed with us for just over two weeks, and it was an absolute pleasure having them on the farm. They were incredibly diligent and precise in their work, following instructions to perfection while often thinking ahead and identifying tasks without needing direction. Their proactive attitude made a significant difference, and we

They were always polite, respectful, and approachable, making them a joy to work with and be around. On top of that, they are fantastic cooks! Every meal they prepared was delicious, and they brought a special touch to our shared dinners.
Despite English being a new language for them, communication was excellent. They made every effort to express themselves clearly, and we never faced any issues. Their eagerness to connect and contribute was evident in every interaction.
We wholeheartedly recommend Takuto and Azusa to any host looking for hardworking, thoughtful, and kind volunteers. We hope our paths cross again in the future and wish them all the best in their journey! 😊
Warm regards,
Freya & David
We stayed at David and Freya's farm for two weeks and had a wonderful experience with them.
They have a lot of experience accepting many people through WWOOF.
They were polite and easy to understand, even for us who were volunteering for the first time, and they showed us how to do it.
We have a meeting every morning to review tasks and make sure

We mainly worked in the garden, carrying soil to make garden beds, collecting fallen leaves, chipping branches, pulling weeds, planting seedlings and seeds, etc.
There was a lot to do, but they never pressured us, watched over our work, and helped us when we had problems.
We were able to use the kitchen and living room for volunteers freely.
They go shopping for food once a week.
We could eat vegetables from the field and enjoy fresh vegetables.
We prepared our own breakfast and lunch.
On the five working days a week, we took turns cooking dinner and we all ate vegetarian food.
All the food they cooked was delicious.
Our bedroom was on the second floor, and we spent our time quietly and relaxing together.
It was cold in November, with temperatures below 10 degrees, but the room was very warm.
We spent our two days off a week doing what we liked.
We had a bonfire together, went to an event in Börm, went to the bakery next door, and had a lot of fun outside of volunteering on their farm.
Thank you for letting us stay and giving us the opportunity to think about farming, food and life.
We wish you all the best and wish your farm continued success.Photos

My two weeks in August 2024 in Börm want by in a flash. Freya and David bought the farm two years ago and embarked on a permaculture journey, documenting their progress on their vlog and socials. We were accompanied by a previous volunteer, who was staying longer and working on a camper-van in the workshop.
I was mainly weeding the veggie-garden
… read more or harvesting apples. We also made apple puree on a wood-fire stove and used a 3-in-1 apple peeler-slicer-core remover tool.
I was quite independent, I had my own kitchen where I prepared breakfast and lunch, and a huge space in the attic all for myself. We usually had dinners together.
In my free-time I went biking to the neighbouring villages and visited a stork info-centre or went for a swim to the nearby Alte Sorge backwater. On my free days I visited the Viking museum of Haithabu and Schleswig or took a day trip to Flensburg.
I was also quite lucky because during my stay I got to be part of two birthday celebrations. One was held at the farm, with friends coming over and enjoying a bonfire & grill, the other actually in the stork info-centre in Bergenhusen! Both events were real fun as I was able to meet interesting and motivating people! 😊
I really recommend stopping! Freya, David I wish you all the best! 😊Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Peter)
Peter was an absolute pleasure to have on our farm. He was reliable, motivated, and always ready to help out. His friendly nature made him a great fit with everyone here, and he jumped into every task with enthusiasm. We highly recommend Peter to any future hosts—he’s someone you can count on to be both helpful and a positive presence :)

I got to know Freya and David as super relaxed and really nice people. In the two weeks in which I was admitted to their home, there was a lot going on, but we woofer/workawayer didn't notice anything about the stress they were experiencing, they could separate them so well! They are super hard working and you can feel that they love this place so

I am truly very happy and thankful that I could stay for 2 weeks with Freya, David and all community members on their fairy farm. 🫠 The projects I had the opportunity to work on, were very various. I was working in the garden for example mulching vegetable beds, planting tomatoes, building support constructions for them, then preparing information
… read more board for the farm festival, they would have in July. :) For this ocassion were me and Freya delivering invitations for all the people in the village and that was really fun! Helping on the farm was very enjoyable, whenever I had some problem Freya, David or other community members helped me very willingly. Freya, David are both very nice funny hardworking humans with opened mind, who are building such a nice place to live on. I thank you a lot for chilled fire evening, community dinners, all new informations, skills, funny memories and all the kindness! 🫶Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

We loved having Hana here.
