Kastanienhof

Rocco and Bea have been renovating a farm since 2013 that was in a very ruinous state. There is still a lot to do. We work together four hours, five days a week, and eat breakfast together. Otherwise the helpers are free, they can come and go whenever and wherever they want.

We have a small farm and we have some animals and plants to take care of.

I'm (Bea) a bricklayer, and Rocco was a computer science teacher. We have some animals: bees, fish, chickens and a dog.

We are a couple (56,68) who fix up a house (I'm a bricklayer) and the garden; we have some animals (bees, chickens and a very beautiful and sweet dog) and some good herbs.

When it is warmer than 10 degrees C, you are invited to work with me: all the farm work, because we have animals and breeding cattle and a garden.

You help us 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. Accommodation and meals are free (wifi as well).

Please don't come when I’m giving courses of clay/adobe.

We are Beatrice (55) and Rocco (66). Rocco and Bea are working on the renovation and reconstruction of the old building. Beatrice is a qualified bricklayer and has worked in Germany, Nicaragua and Spain. She later studied education, sociology and psychology at the TU in Berlin, as well as in Spain and Scotland. Several times a year there are earth-building courses and mortar is gladly supplied for their livelihoods.

Electricity and Internet we have (running hot water in the guests bathroom too).
Oh and towels, bedding, there are here.

For the Join-In-Mitmach b a u stelle plane ich, nach den Lehmbaukursen eine Woche (oder länger)

Jeder, der mitmachen will, kann mitmachen. Wir arbeiten morgens nach dem Frühstück von Montag bis Freitag jeweils 4 Stunden.
Frühstück von 8 bis 9 Uhr (Arbeitsgespräch - Pflicht)
Mittagessen um 13:30 Uhr
Abendessen um 18:30 Uhr (jeder aus der Gruppe kocht mal, du auch - bring Deine Ideen ein)

Wir legen Wert auf Nachhaltigkeit und den sorgsamen Umgang mit allen Ressourcen. Ich verwende gerne alles wieder.
Wir betreiben eine kleine Landwirtschaft mit Öko-Idealismus und renovieren so viel wie möglich (Dächer, Räume, Ställe). Workaways können viel lernen und wir lernen auch sehr gerne!

Für 4 Stunden am Tag, 5 Tage die Woche, Wochenende frei.

Wir, Beatrice (56) und Rocco (67), verbringen viel Zeit damit, die alten Gebäude zu renovieren und umzubauen. Beatrice ist gelernte Maurerin und hat in Deutschland, Nicaragua und Spanien gearbeitet. Später studierte sie Pädagogik, Soziologie und Psychologie an der TU Berlin sowie in Spanien und Schottland. Mehrmals im Jahr geb ich Kurse für Lehmbau.

Strom und Internet WLAN haben wir.
Handtücher, Bettwäsche, Arbeitsklamoten sind auch vorhanden.

Viele Felder und Dörfer in der Umgebung.

Our stay in the farm was great! Bea and Rocco were really kind with us, also Viva! The tasks were diverse and we were able to learn different abilities, such us gardening or construction. It wasn't very hard and when we finished we had the whole day to discover the zone. We loved having bikes because we were able to visit many places. The area was beautiful! We had to go 3 days before accorded because of a misunderstanding, but it wasn't really a problem. Bea told us when we arrived and we found a solution with her help. It's the perfect place to keep calm and connect with nature!

It was a relaxed working atmosphere, and there was plenty of free time. The atmosphere was pleasant, and you could easily combine work with your leisure time.

Hi Justin,

What did you miss? What in the team wasn't enough? What was missing in the setup? Why and when is the learning and the fun missing?

We really enjoyed working with you.
And the dog was sad too when you left.

Best regards, Bea and Rocco
