Descrição
We're Isolde (29, from Austria) and Assaf (43, from Israel) and have been travelling around for quite a while now, exploring different farm places, ourselves and the world. In particular, we have a big passion for connecting with soil and nature - hence, our love for farming. In fact, we'd love to have our own small farm in the next few years if we find a nice spot that feels correct!! Generally, we like being active in unspoilt nature - be it digging in the soil, planting trees and moving stones, interacting with animals, or long-distance swimming and trekking, or anything in between. Having real connections with people is another main motivator to keep us travelling.

Together, we are contemplating what to do in life. Well, we want to be fully alive in all forms and in whatever we are doing. The rest is mere details.
Speaking of details: Assaf just finished his PhD in Marine Biology in the coral reefs of the Red Sea and also has a degree in Computer Science. Isolde studied agriculture (and other things), specialising on animal welfare in baby goats.

* Both of us are fully vaccinated. *

Quais são suas habilidades?
In the last years, we have gained experience in farm work on vegetable farms and with animals, both together as a couple and before that separately. Digging, planting, harvesting, farm infrastructure maintenance, basic carpentry and alike is what we do and have done so far, which is also equivalent to what makes us happy. We both love animals and, in particular, Isolde absolutely loves goats and has experience working with them.

We're both active people and feel much more at home in the forest, on empty cliffs and in the sea rather than in cities, so we're adapted to countryside living. We try applying our common sense in whatever we are doing and take responsibility, so letting us work independently on bigger projects sounds good to us.

In regards to people, we give what we have (love).

We had a beautiful 3-week-stay at Monica's and Frank's place at the end of this cold winter. Monica and Frank are very welcoming, warm and sweet - just like all the animals there! :) We enjoyed spending the non-rainy days digging drainage systems for some huts and the rainy days tidying up the barn and doing a bit of woodwork in there.

Wonderful people in a wonderful forest! Everyone welcomed us in a very kind and easy-going manner. We enjoyed spending our time working outdoors (flattening forest ground, digging out shrubs) and often we shared dinners together. The surrounding forests are very beautiful and always invite for lonely, quiet walks in there. We hope to pop in soon… read more

Isolde and Assaf are two very lovely humans. They are open-minded, funny, trustful, curious, easy-going and were very commited to leave a positive trace in our project. They came and integrated themselves very fast and were pretty independent. As they love digging in the soil they helped us a lot with creating a meadow between our seminar room and… read more

(Welcome here near St. Pölten, ...)

We very much enjoyed staying with this family. We helped making gravel paths, clearing areas from shrubs and alike. During and after shared meals we had conversations about god and the world. Generally, they really tried to not just make us feel comfortable and welcome, but also were happy to teach (trees, fermenting, kids, etc.) and share. A true… read more

Islolde and Asaf during their stay in our place helped us a lot in the fields, they were willing, they learned quickly and took initiatives at work. We were glad to meet them and we recommend them unreservedly. We will be happy to meet them again in future!

We stayed with Yannis and his family for a month, which was full of very interesting and beautiful experiences . We helped Yannis with pruning the olive trees after the harvest, harvesting mandarins, taking care of the animals and alike. Yannis has a lot of knowledge about this kind of farming and seeing him work was very inspiring - he isn't… read more

We had a wonderful month with this sweet family! The work was a lot of fun - we mostly dug and played in the sand to make a new terrace, and did some other jobs like carrying some logs up from the riverbed, making firewood, painting etc. The whole family incl. cats were so welcoming and we very much enjoyed the time we spent with them, and all the… read more

We had a great week here! We were busy with draining a horse barn, which was a lot of digging and fun. Isabelle and Gerhard are very welcoming, and we very much enjoyed the conversations and the tasty lunches together. It was very interesting to hear about their expertise in organic farming and all those CSA projects they are running. All the… read more

Wow were we lucky to have Isolde and Assaf for a few weeks. They get things down! They not only amazed us all with their inredible indurance, joy in physical work and skillful digging, self-responsibility and reliability but also in their kindess and openness. They both seemlessly integrated into our Household quickly and cared for our guests and… read more

We've had such an amazing 6 weeks' stay there, to a level that we even started to feel at home in this farmhouse full of nice souls.
We spent our working days mostly doing intense work outdoors, including loads of fun digging (first a drainage system in the garden, then a pond) and general gardening. We really enjoyed the work and fell in love… read more

We spent a fantastic month with Isolde and Assaf. They are really nice, skillful and considerate people with whom you can talk about pretty much everything.
On the farm, they really helped a lot and enjoyed the work outside, especially the digging, getting horse manure and preparing the ground for the vegetables. I wouldn't have as much space to… read more

We stayed with Lia and Peter for a month. They are wonderful creatures, and so are their 3 sweet cats and many (baby) birds and deers. The farm and location is beautiful, and our work was diverse and fun - a lot of digging in the ground to create new vegetable fields, planting, weeding, more digging to fertilise the soil and alike. We came just at… read more

I stayed on Joel's farm for a couple of days and had a wonderful time. When I arrived at the farm, Joel surprisingly asked me whether I want to join for the Heart Culture festival... I agreed and we spent two extraordinary days there - it was such a deep experience there, and I'm so thankful Joel took me there. After that, I spent three days of… read more

Max, all the people around, and the old farmhouse are wonderful. We were mainly busy on construction tasks in the house (taking off an old, big door, and, hopefully, putting a new one in place), which was both challenging and fun. We were very flexible with the work and the working hours. The evenings were spent with Max and the many friends of… read more
