Community Supported Agriculture in North-East Germany near the Baltic Sea

Opis

Hello, we are Katy and Ingo, and we run a farm with approx. 1.5 ha of land according to the idea of “Solidarity Agriculture” (SoLaWi / CSA) in the market garden system. We are currently in our fifth year of cultivation and want to supply 65 harvesting partners, a restaurant and our farm store with fruit and vegetables during this period. In a team of three people we grow many different seasonal vegetables and fruit varieties, offer educational programs for schools and live with our three children (aged 11, 9 and 6) and our animals (2 dogs, 3 pot-bellied pigs, 5 cats and chickens) on our small farm with farmland around it. It is located in the village of Duvendiek, not far from the picturesque island of Rügen and the beautiful Baltic Sea beach Fischland Darß / Zingst (about 30 minutes to the Baltic Sea and 10 minutes to the Bodden). Anyone who loves peace and quiet, would like to get to know gardening and is also able to lend a hand is cordially invited.

Smještaj, hrana i prijevoz

Accommodation will be in a small house on the farm premise. It is equipped with a kitchen and bathroom. You will receive food allowance each month and are responsible for your meals yourself. You will receive a monthly travel ticket. You can get a bicycle from us, for which no deposit is required. We cook and eat lunch together from Wednesday to Friday. The rest of the meals can be prepared in your own kitchen.

Osposobljavanje tijekom aktivnosti

Depending on the length of your stay with us, you will participate in one or two seminar weeks organized by the German National Agency: the on arrival training (mandatory) and midterm evaluation (if staying more than six months). Both take place somewhere in Germany, together with other ESC volunteers. Through our coordinating organisation Turbina Pomerania you can get in contact with other international volunteers in the region. Moreover, we cooperate with another ESC project nearby where you can learn additional skills.
