Future Farm at the lake of constance in Singen, Germany
The experience
From March, a new season begins on our farm. Nature and our farm of the future are waking up from hibernation.
The first plants are being planted in the market garden, the first shoots are sprouting in the vineyard and our farm barn is being converted back into a huge living room.
From April to October, our farm is the venue for a variety of events, and this year there will be symposiums again, which are holistic mini-festivals with philosophy.

Program Details
In our market garden and on the fields, vegetables from regenerative cultivation grow for our 100 households in solidarity agriculture.
Our vineyards are grazed with a lot of manual labor and a small herd of Shropshire sheep. The grape harvest takes place in September, which is always a highlight of the year.
Here with us you can learn a lot about small-scale and diverse farming and you will be deployed in all areas of the farm.
We would be delighted if you could spend at least 4 weeks with us. We believe that it can be a deeper and more enjoyable experience for both sides if you have the time to get to know each other.
Activities & Shift
From our beautiful courtyard you have a great view of Lake Constance. One of the awaited holiday destinations in Europe and the largest lake in Germany.
You can also explore the Hegau volcanic mountains in your free time.
Everyone in our team can speak English and we are happy to tell you things about German culture and look forward to insights into your origins.
Rules
On site, you will be integrated into our everyday life. In addition to the daily changing work, you will eat with us and do sports (if you want to).
You will normally work with us every morning from Tuesday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m.
In the afternoon, you can explore the area, be creative in our workshop, help prepare the events or lazing around.
In the evenings and at weekends, we always have a fantastic atmosphere under our big farm tree, with other Worldpackers and our friends from the region.
There is a lot of dancing!
Physical work in the garden and vineyard, as well as renovating the house, are part of our daily routine. It doesn't matter how much experience you already have or how much strength you have.
You will work with us to build a project that focuses on sustainability and is not about business and making money.
We are particularly happy about people who have skills in dealing with media (graphic design, video production, etc.)!
