The Experience

We are turning an old house into a workshop building and studio (hopefully with your help) it has a beautiful charm and we want to preserve already existing structures instead of building something completely new because we want to work and renovate climate-friendly and energy-efficient. You’re also welcome if you’re not experienced with construction work as long as you’re interested in learning new skills. Hope to see you soon

It was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend to anyone out there thinking of applying. Leo and her whole family were so authentically kind and welcoming. They would always include us volunteers in the various activities outside of work (riding horses, meals, board games). As far as the work itself Leo was very fair with the hours and patient with our learning curve. The days went by quickly. The meals were amazing and made with all organic ingredients. They even have their own in house barber with Leo's brother Franz, shoutout Franz for the cut!! Thanks for the great trip!!

I had a wonderful experience with Leo and her family, who made me feel very welcome. Leo is very patient and always listens, it was great to work with her. She always makes sure that there is good communication and that everyone feels at ease. I'm very happy to have been able to take part in this low environmental impact renovation project, I can't wait to see the finished house :) The village and the surrounding area are really beautiful. The farm is charming, and you can enjoy the presence of all the animals. I highly recommend this experience!

Leo and her family welcomed me into their home and made me feel so comfortable, the farm and village is absolutely beautiful, Leo is very clear and helpful with teaching everything and was very understanding when I had to take breaks to treat my diabetes, Leo speaks fantastic English and is very easy to get along with. My only regret was not booking a longer trip!! Can't wait to see the house when it's finished. Prost!
