Yes, you can bring your device and use the WiFi. You can use it after work. Please do not use it in the morning. We need a fast connection for our business.  There´s no mobile phone connection at our farm!!!

We work 5 days a week. After caring for the animals in the morning and evening* you have time to yourself. *Volunteers can take turns. After work you are free to spend your time as you like. We love to sit by an open fire and have fun with our volunteers. You could also hike in the mountains and watch wildlife or sit by the stream and read a book. Relax in a hammock or tipi.

It depends on your riding skills. We do not provide riding lessons or riding for beginners. If there are skilled riders among the volunteers they are free to teach other volunteers on our horses in their free time. Well skilled riders are welcome to take tours and help train our horses. It always depends on the person!

Mostly our volunteers work together. Work ranges from feeding and caring for the animals, gardening, fencing, wood working and a thousand things more to household work.

It is everyone´s share to cook from time to time. This will provide a various menu. Meat is expensive and we like to use it thoughtfully. We are doing grocery shopping every week.

We ask for 6 hours of work a day in exchange for free accommodation and three meals. This is no fixed routine. It likely happens that you will have to work more or less the one day or another. There are no fixed regulations for pause times or work you are allowed or bound to do. Every work is done on a voluntary base and with beforehand agreement. Volunteers who work with us do help our animals!  Caring about your living area, preparing meals as well as cleaning dishes is part of your free time.

There´s a timber house a cabin and a camper for our volunteers. Showers and toilettes are located in a different building. We live off the grid and produce our own power. That means we depend on Sunshine and Wind for power and warm water.

You will get free accommodation and three meals a day in exchange for your work. But you should plan on some pocket money for souvenirs and travelling around.
