Description
March 2024 UPDATE: Hi everyone! We are looking to travel once again and predominantly interested in home-stays and house-sitting. We both work remotely and would like to care for your place of residence while working from afar. We are more than willing to carry out light duties but would prefer nothing too arduous as we will need to continue our own employment while traveling.

We are a married couple from Eugene, Oregon, USA traveling the world to learn from people who are masters in their craft and to be a helping hand along the way.

Our main interests are in the areas of organic gardening/farming and self-sufficiency. We both love preparing food and spend most of our free time learning new techniques to prepare and preserve the harvest. We have maintained a large garden over the past several seasons, and raised chickens for three years. Aaron has finished two full seasons working on a 5+ acre organic production farm.

We would love to gain more skills building structures. Our long term goal is to someday build our own home using the techniques that we've learned throughout the world.

We will never forget our experience living in the farm cabin during November 2017. The space that Erich has created from a barren field deserves a deep round of applause. He is extremely passionate about permaculture and you will certainly learn beneficial farming theories and techniques during your stay, as well as having meaningful conversations… read more

We spent an amazing five-weeks at Augustijnenhof with Katrine, Hans, and their wonderful family in the village of Loppem. Our work mainly consisted of weeding, planting, and harvesting for five-hours per day, and we took great pride in working hard to help with the farm. We lived in a comfortable room above the farm shop, and had more than enough… read more

We spent 3 weeks with Alex, Miriam, Raya, a rotating cast of family members and one other volunteer. Our time spent working consisted of the usual farm chores of harvesting, planting, watering and weeding all while having in depth philosophical conversations. Alex is an energetic, enthusiastic and fantastically sarcastic leader in the fields who… read more

To put it short: At times we felt as if we were the ones helping Aaron and Liz run their vegetable farm and prepare their market stand. It's hard to find anyone more enthusiastic about and devoted to farming than them. They are so great that two TV crews came to shoot at our farm during their stay.
They came carrying the right gear for work in… read more

They also cleared an old building of rubble. Scraped a barn. Cleaned a chicken house. etc. Many jobs done well. After help was completed, they were an… read more

We spent twelve wonderful days with Eva, Jobe and family helping prep a barn for painting, thinning Birch from a pine forest, and cultivating soil for planting, among other tasks. Other arduous chores included eating delicious bread and playing board games. We highly recommend spending time on their farm and hope to return in the future.

We spent two wonderful weeks with Ingvild, Martin, and their family amongst the jaw-dropping scenery of Norddal. They showed us overwhelming generosity, even while we suffered from a series of illness and injury. Our work consisted mainly of cleaning, sheep feeding, fence repair, computer maintenance, and making dinner. We have every intention of… read more

Our nine-days spent with Kurt and Ellen are among some of the fondest we’ve had in memory. They are incredibly generous hosts, who provided an abundance of wonderful food and conversation, in addition to some pivotal cultural experiences. Our work generally consisted of house cleaning, mucking, fence repair, horse feeding, unloading wood pellets,… read more
