Help harvest chillies and raise ducks in the village of Nedlitz, Germany

  Description

  I run a small farm where we raise ducks and grow chiles, so far in a non-commercial way. We also grow a self-sufficiency garden. We have been here for four years, and are slowly transforming this place. I have a day job which I do mostly via home office
  
  We have 5500 square meters, 3 large poly tunnels full of New Mexico chiles, 2 dogs, 20 runner ducks and 4 cats. We are growing a big garden with corn, potatoes, tomatoes, greens, beans, salad, berries and more. Our ducks produce the fertilizer for the plants and make eggs for us. We are also running a music recording/mixing studio and have a cool bunkhouse that sleeps eight. We always have a bunch of building projects, fixing up an A-Frame and a trailer as tiny houses. So we would especially welcome any workawayers with woodworking and construction experience, or at with least interest in assisting.
  
  We are in a small village in Sachsen-Anhalt, near Zerbst, about 1.5 hrs from Berlin by car or regional train.
  
  We sit down for a family dinner every night. During the day, workawayers can make their own meals with food we or the farm provides!
