The Experience

We want to bring a beautiful old farmhouse back to life, so we want to create a 3800 square meter garden, you can also come with a camper. We would like guests who will help us with the renovation, who would like to take care of the household and the cats, others who like to work in the garden. I would also like someone who can put together a motorcycle that is disassembled, there are a variety of things to do. Jardy the Patou loves to be brushed

My volunteer experience with Jürgen and Nicole was very positive and enriching. I felt completely at ease the whole time, learned a great deal, and had the opportunity to meet wonderful people. It was an experience that allowed me to grow personally while also making a positive contribution. I am very grateful for the opportunity, the way I was treated, and everything I've gained from this experience. I would certainly recommend this volunteer program to others looking for a meaningful and enriching experience. Thank you so much, Nicole and Jürgen!

I had such a great time! Jürgen and Nicole were so friendly and accommodating, the work was really interesting and varied. I've discovered a passion for working with wood and I've returned to Scotland with a new set of skills. I would totally recommend!

Simply transformative. Nicole is an intelligent, interesting, and incredibly kind woman. I deeply appreciate the conversations we shared they truly expanded my way of thinking. Jürgen is a practical yet sensitive man, and every conversation we had during breakfast left me with something to reflect on.
They are both altruistic people who showed me a different way of living. I love how this experience connected me more deeply with nature, animals, and a slower lifestyle. All the animals in the house are adorable, and mealtime was always the happiest part of the day! I'll be always grateful♡

Sharing time with these people was incredible. Jürgen is a very funny person, but above all, he's a really good person — and that's what I value the most about him. He's always there when you need him for anything. Nicole is also very kind, easy to talk to about anything, and best of all, she's an amazing cook — her skills in the kitchen are truly incredible. The cherry on top is their dog Jardy — he's adorable! Thank you so much for opening the doors of your home to us and making us feel like part of the family.

This host is a perfect place to take a break from a hurried life and enjoying a simple working lifestyle that is relaxed and comforting. Jürgen and Nicole are fantastic and made me feel right at home. Both of them are fantastic cook's and really made sure I had everything I needed. I recommend this host to anyone who is looking to provide a helping hand turning this beautiful cottage into a fully renovated farm house.
