Descrição
Hi, Workawayers!
We are a family of four: Nora (2007) and Livio (2008), both are studing in Switzerland. There are at home only on holidays. Verena (1968), and Mario (1969). We decided to move here from Switzerland in 2007 to raise our family in a different lifestyle, connecting with nature.
When we arrived here we had to rebuild the roof and renovate the rooms of this old country house by ourselves with some help from our friends and relatives.
Nowadays, we run a small eco-farm with 4 goats, 2 donkeys, 2 horses, our dog, Zibo, 3 cats, and a small army of rabbits and chickens. All the work is done by hand.
It doesn't matter to us if you are a single person or a whole family; if you are a nature lover, looking for a quiet place, and willing to work, you are welcome!

If available, you will have your own fully-equipped apartment (bathroom, kitchen with fridge). If all the apartments are being used by our guests, you will sleep in our comfortable caravan that sleeps four people and includes water, heat, and electricity.
There is NO WIFI, only W-LAN connection (it's a cable connection; most newer computers don't have the right connection, so we'd recommend bringing a converter cable if you want to use it).
We ask you to bring your own computer if you wish to use the internet.

Verena and Mario as well as their children Nora and Livio are wonderful to be with. Their place offers a vast range of opportunities for workawayers, from gardening to construction, from art-projects to teaching. I enjoyed every minute of my stay with them.
I enjoyed my time at ,,here a lot. The property is beautiful and the large vegetable garden gives many kinds of delicious vegetables and fruits, that we mostly ate together.
The work I did depended on my skills and what I liked to do. In this case it was helping with the horses and in the garden. For me it was more fun than work.
