We are looking for helpers
We are waiting for physical strong people.
We will be mainly outside in the garden and the woods.
Hello,
Hanna and Jörg (both 50) live on the countryside in a former brickyard area (3ha) 15 km south from the Baltic Sea.
We live sustainable: solarenergy, wellwater, compostoilet, oven...
are a few things which make our living comfortable.
We are happy to grow food and share a simple way of living.
Jörg is a carpenter, he is into finding best ways to live sustainable.
He was breeding chicken in the past years and is happy with his dogs Dancer and Lexi.
Hanna is a body therapist and padagogue. She studied social work.
She is the gardener, the cook and happy with making fresh food.
Jörg has three daughters which are around from time to time.
We would love to meet people from all over the world who have a passion for being outside,
discovering plants and the way of natural living.
Feel welcome to ask questions,
Hanna & Jörg
