Join our big family on an original German farm in Göhren, Central Germany

  Description

  We are a big family living on a farm in a beautiful rural area in Thuringia, near Leipzig and Altenburg. There‘s lots of turkeys, sheep, rabbits and cats and we grow wheat, corn, canola and a few more grains.
  I am also a Workawayer (20 years old), just back from 8 months of farms and forests in New Zealand and Australia. I loved travelling by doing Workaway, so I decided to become a host myself. I would like to share our interesting place with Workawayers who want to experience the life on a original German farm that has been in our family for generations.
  
  We are a family of 13 (+ my uncles, aunts and cousins next door). So there is always something happening here and you are welcome to join in the fun.
  You will have your own accomodation in our comfortable tree house with its own kitchen. You are welcome to join our meals with the family. We usually have 3-4 meals a day. But you’ll also have the opportunity to do your own thing with the food we‘ll provide.
  In the evenings we often light up a bon fire and have some bbq- just join in and practice your German and beer drinking ;).
  Maybe it’s good to mention that our meals mostly contain meat (made from our own turkeys). So if you have any dietary requirements you‘ll have your own kitchen (as I said).
  Our place is non-smoking.
  
  Besides our farm business- including the turkeys and the cultivation of the grain- in wich we will not involve our Workawayers, we have a big family garden, where we grow our fruits and vegetables, so there is always something to do. We would also appreciate help with our building projects and of course we can always have fun with cleaning and maintaining the house ;). The working hours and days are quite flexible and we will be very happy with whatever skills you bring.
  
  Please note: There are two „Göhren“ in Germany; one on the Baltic Sea and one in Thuringia. We live in Thuringia, Central Germany ;).
  
  As you can see in the calendar, we can only host Workawayers during the summer time, when the tree house is cozy and the lakes are warm. But you are welcome to text us all year long and plan your stay with us.
  
  In June, we have two big events taking place in our garden, so we would be pleased to get some help with gardening in may.
  
  Looking forward to hear from you ;)
