  Description

  Hiiiiii everyone,
  We are two friends, Marlene and Ronja (21 & 19), living on a beautiful old farm between the Black Forest and the Kaiserstuhl in South-West Germany. The farm belonged to Marlenes grandparents and we are on a mission to bring it back to life step by step. At the moment the place is a bit chaotic and overgrown – and that is exactly why we need help. If you enjoy hands-on work, nature and seeing real progress, you might love it here.
  The place is surrounded by fields, forest (10min walk), and fresh air. A village with supermarket, bakery and restaurants is 1 km away. You can reach the beautiful city Freiburg im Breisgau by car or train (30min/15min).
  This is not a polished guesthouse – it is a real, authentic farm project where you can see every day what your help changes.
  We love campfires, cooking together, listening to music, nature, and cultural exchange.
  We are LGBTQ+ friendly and queer ourselves, so we will be happy to welcome queer people 💅🏻
  Everyone is welcome regardless of background, sexuality or religion.
  
  We do not have any kind of business, it's all about making our homestead liveable and enjoyable again.
