Program Details
We’ll welcome you here at the farm and give you an introduction when you arrive. Once you feel comfortable and settled in, we can start working. In the beginning, there will definitely be a lot to explain and organize, but after this it would be necessary if you could complete the tasks independently.
You can always reach us, either in person around the farm or by phone whenever needed.
Activities & Shift
Work starts around 7:30 AM (because of the current heat) and usually goes until about 11:30 AM. After that, it’s simply too hot to continue. After that we take a long lunch break until around 4:00 PM until it is possible to work outside again. During the break, you’ll have internet access and can relax in the apartment or work on your own projects.
We'll provide you with food and drinks for breakfast and dinner, but you'll have to prepare and eat them on your own.
We'll make lunch together.
Rules
We ask you to help keep the place clean and not leave any trash (also organic trash) random in the surrounding area. Please treat the apartment we provide, as well as our tools and equipment, with care and respect.
If you do not feel confident carrying out tasks independently, please do not apply.
