Program Details

Everyone has talents that we can put to good use in our diverse projects.

We are happy to receive
- help with looking after and caring for the many animals on our farm (horses, goats, sheep, chickens, dogs and cats). From daily feeding to mucking out and removing manure, to trimming hooves and shearing sheep. Our animals also appreciate attention and spending time together with cuddles and petting.
- at the moment we are especially looking for people who have skills in woodworking and would like to help Peter with carpentry, building and interior design and want to learn from Peter who is a master craftsman.
- support in the household
- helping with light landscaping
- we would be very happy to have people who have experience with permaculture to develop and implement ideas together.

Activities & Shift

When dealing with our animals you can have enriching experiences. We would be happy to support you in establishing a connection with these beautiful beings. Here the animals are not farm animals but our companions. Perhaps you would like to be there when we go shopping with the pack horse or forage with the goats. Doing tasks in and around the house, and while helping on the hobby-farm, you can learn skills and test your skills. When we cook together or take turns cooking for the community, we can enrich ourselves with new ideas and recipes. In your free time you could try kayaking. We have 2 folding boats for 2 people each. You can conquer the rural area around us (Donaubergland, Hegau volcanic landscape, Lake Constance region) by bike or on foot. There are numerous hiking and cycling trails. The easily accessible cities of Singen, Constance, Radolfzell and Tuttlingen offer cultural events and nightlife options You are welcome to spend cozy evenings with good conversations on the terrace or by the fireplace if you feel like it.

Rules

We are very flexible in our way of life and also like to be spontaneous. We wish the same from you. In order to deal well with each other, open and honest communication is very important to us. If something doesn't fit, then we should speak out. There must be time for that. We can meet you with tolerance and respect and we wish the same from you. If you like being outdoors in nature and with animals and/or like to create with your hands and appreciate being in the here and now, then you fit here.
Our personal development is very important to us. Consumption, television and social media do not play a major role in our life. We really enjoy community and value clear, honest and appreciative communication.
