  Description

  We are looking for a few helpers to join our Mini-Farm and help us get some infrastructure and planting done! If you are excited by the prospect of learning new skills and working with plants and animals, then we would love to have you on board. Our farm is led by regenerative agriculture and permaculture principles, so you will be sure to have a lot of fun while you're here. Your accommodation is very new, modern and offers more luxury than you expected or are in need of.
  
  We can't promise that you will see any vampires during your stay, but there is plenty of garlic available if you get scared. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if this sounds like something that interests you.
  
  Our farm is a highly productive organic Mini-Farm that requires some assistance in the areas of infrastructure and planting. Hello, my name is Daniel, a Swiss guy who has been living in beautiful Transylvania since 2005. My Romanian wife Hermina and I founded our tiny farm out of nothing more than a barren piece of ground and an uninhabitable property.
  
  We spent years of hard work and effort and many tons of compost to become more productive and efficient. Our 1-hectare farm is managed by regenerative agriculture and permaculture ideas, which have become our life passion besides animals, healthy food, and being hosts for vacationers and volunteers. As a result of ever more products available, there is also an increasing demand for storage, canning, drying, and... So you're needed!
  
  We'd want to go further with our goods and available floor space, but manpower is keeping us from doing so. If you can picture being a member of a small team that does and learns new things while having a lot of fun, please contact us. There's always enough garlic on hand to keep Dracula away...
  
  Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to hearing from you.
  
  
  
  Important: Hermina and I do not eat on a regular basis, therefore we can not guarantee fixed eating hours. There are even days when we don't eat anything. Of course, you will receive your meals and goods every day, but there is a good chance that you will have to prepare them for yourself on certain days. A fully equipped kitchen is accessible if needed. Thank you for your patience.
  
  
  
  Current projects planned for autumn:
  
  - preparing the garden for winter
  
  - cutting and pruning trees and firewoods
  
  - build a little, floating house for the ducks coming next spring
  
  - build new mobile rabbit tractors
  
  - build a new mobile tractor for sheep or goats

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  If you're interested in learning more about Romanian culture, our family can offer you a unique opportunity to experience it firsthand. Your hosts are of Romanian, Hungarian, and Swiss descent, so the cultural influences can be seen in the food we cook as well as in the way we've designed our farm. We would be happy to practice our German with you, so feel free to get in touch if that's something that interests you.

  Hébergement

  Our farm offers modern, new, heated, and clean accommodation. We have a new guesthouse with separate entry, with double beds (200x160) and a bunk bed (2 beds, each 200x90) to offer. Hot water, indoor toilet, and heating are a given at any time of the year.
  
  We are always looking for hard-working individuals to help us out around the property. Jobs can include cleaning, gardening, or maintenance work. In return, we offer free board and lodging in our comfortable guesthouse. We are located close to the bus station, making it easy for guests to visit the town of Tirgu Mures. If you are interested in helping us out, please send us a message!

  Autres infos...

  Our home is located in a typical Transylvanian village. The locals are pleasant, and many customs have not yet vanished. The settlement is nestled in a large valley, which exposes us to harsh winds on occasion. We value volunteers highly, who try to fit into everyday life and who are interested in making new friends and experiences. A specific tourist guestbook has been prepared for our guests which helps you to plan your stay. There are lots of fascinating locations waiting to be discovered by you - or you may simply relax at the swimming pond!

  Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux

  We have had pleasant and funny experiences with guests who had taken their cat with them. Also conceivable are helpers with their own dog. However, we expect a good upbringing and prefer females, which certainly get along better with our male dogs.
