Help a family on an idyllic farm in Schrozberg, Germany

  Description

  My name is Patricia and I live together with my family in a small village called Schmalfelden. I’m currently renovating my house together with my boyfriend Tim, which means that many tasks around the farm and in the house are being neglected. That’s why we are looking for some support with gardening and landscaping, harvesting fruits and vegetables, as well as cooking and cleaning in and around the house.
  
  If you are interested in learning something about renovation, you are very welcome to join us and help with some projects. However, this is completely optional and not your main responsibility.
  
  We are people who enjoy doing things ourselves – whether it’s craftsmanship, cooking, or learning from nature and our surroundings. We love sharing knowledge about the region, nature, and life in general, and we’re always happy to learn from others too.
  
  About me (30):
  - I love to dance salsa
  - I made my own workaway experience in the USA and Canada
  - I am an Ayurvedic Coach and would love to share my knowledge with you
  - I am the creative mind behind our renovation – full of ideas and passion for design
  
  About Tim (33) - my boyfriend:
  - He is a craftsman with heart and soul
  - He brings all the practical skills to bring our ideas to life
  - Always happy to share his knowledge and work together on projects
  - He loves cats
  
  About Martina (58) – my mum:
  - She is a bit shy when speaking English ;)
  - She loves singing and also plays guitar
  - She enjoys cooking regional dishes and baking – and would love to cook or bake together with you (if you like, you can also show her recipes from your home country!)
  
  About Klaus (62) – my dad:
  - He loves cycling (you are very welcome to join him – he’ll happily show you the most beautiful spots in the area)
  - Makes the best steaks on earth :D
  - He knows the region like the back of his hand and loves sharing stories about it
  - Always has a funny saying or joke ready – there’s a good chance he’ll make you laugh every day
  
  The farm:
  Our farm has a big garden with old fruit trees, inviting you to relax in our hammock and enjoy your free time.
  We have a cat and grow potatoes, carrots, strawberries, herbs, and more. Of course, you can eat all the fruits and vegetables (depending on the season).
  We also have a hot tub on our terrace, where you can relax together with us after work.
  
  The village:
  Schmalfelden has about 200 inhabitants. The next grocery stores are 5 minutes away by car. There are no clubs or discos nearby, but in summer there are many activities in the surrounding villages and towns, easily reachable by bike. If I meet friends, you’re always welcome to join!
  
  We also have a wonderful village community where young and old come together regularly – and you’ll be warmly invited to be part of it.
  Once a week, there is a shared evening with traditional snacks (“Vesper”) and beer for all villagers – a great opportunity to connect, experience local culture, and feel part of the community.
  
  It is also possible to use our car if you have an international driving license and we don’t need it at the time.
