From Christmas on we are looking for a couple who likes to join us with our horses and mushrooms.
During the winter season we have our focus in the horse care and maintainence of the forest and the fields.
Since wintertime is rainy season, please be aware that we all might expect some weather relateted disconfort.
The pastures may drown in mud, it can be cold wet and windy. And if the weather gets nasty you will find yourself sitting in front of a firplace trying to get dry again with nothing else to do . If you can not stand quiet moments reading, or simply doing nothing for a while, this might not be the place you are looking for... or think about bringing a good friend ...just saying ;-))
****************
in general we are looking for people who love to be around horses, and know how to ride. So if you can ride all 3 gaits, we can consider your offer.
If you have any building skills you are also most welcome. We are looking for people for some small building projects. Building a production/fruiting room for the mushrooms, a waterstorage and some general forresting tasks are ahead of us. So it might be beneficial if you have some basic knowledge in these fields. A couple, or close friends would be most welcome.
As a plus for you, we will offer some riding lessons and hacks on a horseback.
If you are interested in the magic of mycologie, we might also have something to share with you.
Our minimum stay is at least 6 weeks...we prefer long timers.
