The experience

In 2006 my husband and I moved from Germany to Croatia with the intention of a simple life in a natural, rural and clean environment. A few years ago sadly my husband passed away. In the meantime my mum moved in, so it's the two "old ladies". :) Now I am trying to handle the "farm" on my own. During our life here we have realized how many poor dogs and cats are abandoned and we started "picking" them from the street, giving them shelter and home.

Program Details

So one part of the help I need is with taking care of the dogs, which includes providing them with food, water, cleaning the pens and of course petting them.

I am looking for people who have a strong work ethic, who see what's to be done, and who can clean up after themselves.

Activities & Shift

I also need help with the everyday activities on the farm which vary according to the time of year. Typical tasks include tending the garden, weeding and harvesting. Other seasonal activities include preparation of the garden beds, application of compost and manure, watering, fruit picking, preservation of produce, cutting and stacking firewood.

In the moment , due to space i am looking for couples.

Rules

We respect water and nature. That's why we take short showers, which are also not possible every day and use water only when needed. Please close the tap/pipe/shower when not needed. So we all have enough water also to drink, to water plants, for cooking, for animals ... please respect water and nature.
