Details
Description
Our farm of 12 hectars is a Biofarm. Most of our products is selfsufficiency production, only lambs are sold on the market. It's not a profitable farm. We produce electric power and have a natural waste water treatment. Our neighbor is organic too, so we get good milk. The farm is mainly run by my son Tilman, he is doing a lot of restoring craftswork too, so you may learn, how to use engins and gain crafts skills. There is a community garden with kitchen and playground on our farm, run by a charity organisation with our support. Enjoy hiking in the woods nearby or do any excursion by bike, the environment is lovely. I enjoy the contact with young helpers from everywhere on the globe and until now I hosted more than 300. Be the next!
We are both fully Corona vaccinated and expect you to be vaccinated as well.

Lydia's farm was our first Workaway experience, and it was really great!
The farm is a cosy place in a quiet and beautiful hamlet, located about 4km from the town of Möckmühl.
We were hosted by Lydia and her son Tillman, and we also met their neighbours Alex and Jana. They were all very friendly and kind, and made us feel very welcome.

Elisa was not only a great help as to the farmworks but a moral support in a difficult time. I' m looking forward to meet here again. She was very brave since she was alone with me, normally there are at least 2 persons at time, and because we had really bad luck with internet and phone. I'm looking for satellite dsl now, so this isolation should… read more

During my winter stay with Lydia I fed the animals, mucked out the stable, restored wood furniture, fitted a door, baked cakes, learned how to install a tile floor and use different power tools. I had plenty of time to relax. The environment is stress free. The volunteers apartment is clean, warm, and has everything you need. Lydia is a very kind… read more

During that time, she realised a lot of tasks with renovating the kitchen and bathroom: tiling, sanding furniture, working with silicon paste etc. She learned to use a lot of different tools and was always enthusiastic with learning new things, and… read more

We spent almost 4 weeks at Lydias farm. It was an enriching experience and we learned a lot. In fact, the farm is mainly producing sheep and no vegetables - at least this season. Instead, we did a lot of repairing and building. The kitchen needed some new doors, we built a small fenced area with wood for the donkeys and sheep and we prepared the… read more

We stayed here for 5 weeks, and there were many times talk of staying longer. We immediately felt a great connection to Lydia. Life on the farm felt quickly like it was our home. There was much to do and we felt so invested with our hearts. The days passed by quickly. Lydia taught us knitting which we did together many nights with some beers. We… read more

I am very thankful for every second I spent in the farm with Lydia and her son Tilman. We all worked as a team, in harmony ; the tasks we had to accomplish were diverse and very interesting, such as moving the sheep flock when there was no grass in the field (sheep are nonstop eaters..!!), preparing concrete (I would say it is pretty the same as… read more
