Dettagli del programma

Important UPDATE:
we are not accepting any more volunteers until summer 2026! However, for the summer time we are a looking for a dedicated person, willing to work hard physically on various tasks in exchange of learning a lot about selfsustainable lifestyle/homesteading, particularly in growing and preserving your own veggies and fruits. We do look for people who are truly aware about the demands and burdens of such a hard work and despite that have the energy to jump into that experience in order to figure out if it would be something for themself as well. So if you are experienced and tough and you are willing to help a young family in exchange for a big learning experience as well as excellent food, accommodation and hospitality don't hesitate to contact us as soon as possible.


We have volunteered in different parts of the world ourselves and know exactly what volunteers need to have a rewarding and fulfilling stay. 🤝

Our homestead is located in the hilly "Sausal" area of Southern Styria, at the foothills of the Alps — about 40 km west of us. While the land is not mountainous, it’s full of steep hills, so a basic level of physical fitness is important as you won’t find many flat spaces here. 🏔️

We offer:
🏡 A private room with a double bed, desk, private bathroom, and a private entrance — located in the basement (cool in summer, well-heated in winter). Note: The space has limited natural light.

🍎 We value healthy living and mainly follow a vegetarian diet, occasionally eating meat sourced from our homestead or direct neighbors.

🎶 Music is an important part of our lives! Anna plays multiple instruments and sings daily with our daughter. We love sharing music moments with our volunteers — whether around a bonfire or during everyday life.

Attività e turni

Volunteers help with daily tasks around the homestead:

🌱 All year round:

Taking care of the chickens, orchard, and vegetable garden.

❄️ Winter:

Pruning trees and bushes, making firewood, general maintenance.

🌸 Spring:

Preparing the garden, producing seedlings, soil work.

☀️ Summer:

Pasture work, grass cutting, hay making, garden watering.

🍂 Autumn:

Big harvest season: food preservation (juicing, canning, drying).

🧡 Optional:

Spending time playing with our daughter! She loves playing all day and sometimes needs attention more urgently than the farm does. Sharing time with her is always appreciated and rewarded with lots of love. 💕

Full house rules will be communicated upon your arrival to ensure a pleasant stay for everyone. 🏡✨
