Live and feel at the pulse of nature in Krumbach, Austria

  Description

  Our nonprofit farm is a retreat in the heart of the hilly "Bucklige Welt" landscape in southern Lower Austria. It is completely surrounded by meadows and forests.
  
  We are gradually creating a vibrant community of people who live in harmony with nature on our site. This project exclusively serves people and nature; no commercial interests are realized here.
  
  Our 5,000 m² (half-hectare) site is located on a south-facing slope. In addition to the residential area, which consists of two buildings, a large garden lies at the heart of our property. We use the garden to recharge, relax, find inspiration, and provide ourselves with nutritious food. Depending on the season, the garden provides healthy herbs, medicinal plants, leafy vegetables, and fruit.
  
  We are investing our energy in further developing the garden and outdoor area. For example, we plan to build a round house to accommodate two people.
  
  Expanding the residential buildings is also important to us. We will, for example, soon be completing a guest room in one of our buildings.
  
  Currently, the two of us — Jaco and Alex — live here with four cats — Ricola, TomTom, Cornelius, and Whoopy — a dog, Coco, and three chickens — Elsa, Pipi, and Raffy.
  
  Jaco is a dedicated and passionate gardener and designer. For her, gardens provide a daily space for healing, connection and growth.
  
  Alex supports the place by doing basic work and coordinating Workaway. He is passionate about exploring how communication and connection between people can thrive in harmony with nature. He has a particular interest in nocturnal nature conservation, i.e. preserving unlit nature at night.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  As each of us has a wealth of experience in our own volunteer work, in our professional work, and in collaboration with other volunteers, it is important to us that everyone feels at home here.
  
  Although we are not able to provide financial remuneration as a non-profit project, fair working and living conditions where give-and-take are in harmony are very important to us.
  
  In addition to working together, we value eating together with the volunteers in a sociable atmosphere, making music, and celebrating and enjoying life in the present moment :-)
  
  What makes our place special is that you can experience mindful and reflective interactions with both people and nature. By living in harmony with nature, you can discover the meaning of a holistic approach to life. By interacting with plants, animals and other people, you can experience and understand what honesty, openness and love mean in practice.
  
  When it comes to interpersonal relationships, connection, honesty and respect for boundaries are particularly important to us.
  
  Having Workaway volunteers at our place gives us the opportunity to realise our vision with support, while expanding our view of ourselves, our project and our culture. We are happy to be inspired by Workaway volunteers and to learn from them.

  Hébergement

  As living in harmony with nature is at the core of our way of life, camping is the best way to experience our location during the summer months. We can provide you with a tent to sleep in. However, we kindly ask that every volunteer brings their own sleeping bag.
  
  Volunteers also have the option of sleeping in our garden hut, which has a comfortable bed and mattress.
  
  During the winter months or in cold and bad weather, Workawayers can also, of course, sleep in a guest room in the heated house.
  
  We will provide three meals a day, or the ingredients for these meals, for the volunteers.
  
  We think it's important to cook and eat together at least once a day. Lunch is the best time for this.
