HELLO!
our small farm is located in the beautiful black forest close to Baden Baden/ Freiburg/ Karlsruhe. On 5 hectar land we are living together with 4 horses, cats, goats, chickens, bees, sheep and rabbits. We're looking for joyful and mindful people with skilled hands. At the moment we take only volunteers for a "work and stay" (minimum 12 month) because it takes time to learn the farm routine and gaining confidence in fullfilling the tasks. A well-rehearsed and stable team that wholeheartedly takes over the daily work on the farm also mediates aswell a trustful atmosphere for our animals and clients.
As we are beginning to grow into a sociotherapeutic "permaculture model farm" we are especially happy to invite someone (longterm) with passion for mindfulness, meditation, permaculture, ecological building and sacred geometry who has competent experience in permaculture, planning and construction site management.
ABOUT US
=> I (Frauke) am a social worker, psychotherapist (Gestalttherapie), working in the field of animal assisted therapy and Mindful Horseleadership®- new approaches towards the human-horse relationship. I am experienced in Vipassana meditation and the essence of my being is to create a joyful space for remembering what we really are.
=> Gwen is lovingly taking care of the animals
=> Uwe supports us with his oecological building knowledge and in the field of project management
=> Andrej loves to repair and build and has all tools under his caring wings
=> Michael and Tiernan are taking care of our growing permaculture garden
=> Ina and Anja support us in the office
=> Thais and MInjin are eager to create a nice film for our expanding social media presence and doing fundraising for our non-profit.
LIVING AND WORKING TOGETHER
The farm is the home of Frauke and an invitation for visitors and guests to explore your true nature and an open heart connection with all that is. We create this place as a small work-community (people are living outside the farm) and are interested in spirituality, a healthy life style, sustainable living and we love being and working in and with nature connected to animals and people.
In these days the common rooms (kitchen, toilet, lounge) are at the same time working spaces for kids and clients (during the day) and private space (in the evenings and weekends) for the 3 people that are living at the farm.
In addition it is necessary that you have a joy to maintain things with love of order (out of our experience that clean spaces support inner clarity), a huge flexibility and a fine sensitivity to the needs of the place.
- We are vegetarian/ vegan
- Smoking is allowed only outside in one special spot
- No alcohol, no drugs in the whole farm area
- we do not host families and dogs
OUR PHILOSOPHY
In addition to Frauke's freelance work, we are a non-profit association and a sociotherapeutic organisation that works as well with people that experience difficult life circumstances. Be aware when visiting us that we work "therapeutically" and have a special way of non-violent communication and behaviour. Therefore we have been creating on our farm a calm and "safe space" where we maintain an atmosphere of joyful heart connection, mutual respect and partnership - within our team, with our clients, nature and our animals.
This includes a few agreements at the farm which we take very seriously (for example not to feed the animals out of your hand, going very aware to an animal with noticing in advance if it really wants you close). In the beginning they may appear to you a bit strict. We view them more as an opportunity for you to experience a totally new way of being and living together- both with humans and with animals.
On the farm we are enjoying times of contemplation aswell, such as a silent lunch once a week or working in complete silence for single days. During our weekly Satsangs we resonate with Law of attraction, Mooji, E. Tolle, Gangaji to name a few out of more and more beings who share with an open heart our living as one.
WHY A HELPER?
We like to have contact to different cultures, nationalities and mentalities through volunteers. You will be treated as part of the farm-family, so helping in the house with meals, washing up during the day etc. is an important part of being with us. Cooking will be one of your tasks aswell.
NECESSARY PROFILE
The work on the farm is demanding, so it is important that you are physically and mentally fit. In addition, we are of course happy to have volunteers with skilled hands and we have always lots of tasks for talented handy-/crafts(wo)man!
Loving animals and having fun being outside in wind and weather is a basic requirement ;)
For the above reasons we decided to take Co-creators for a minimum of 12 months (the first two weeks count as a probationary period to find out if we feel comfortable with each other). We wish for people who are willing and experienced to take on areas independently as far as possible and who also enjoy guiding others in the long term.
IN RETURN
Hospitality and organic food
Participation in the farm activities
Meditation, spiritual inquiry and living in the "here and now" is our natural way of being.
Our farm is located in the very beautiful "Murgtal" -area. You can for example hike, climb, bike, walk and swim.
HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT US
=> BUILDING/ CONSTRUCTION
If you are (a creative) carpenter, joiner, exhibition stand constructor, landscaper, painter, brick layer or an experienced DIYer we have plenty manual tasks. From little things like chopping logs, to repair (fences, wheelbarrow tires, shelves,...) up to more demanding things for skilled helpers like making furniture, eco construction, roofing, installation, building walls,....
On our farm we are realising a renewable energy experience path for children and teens.
=> GARDENING AND PERMACULTURE

Tasks include caring for animals, gardening (permaculture), building, caring for the environment, cooking and housekeeping, just about anything you need to do on a growing farm.
