Biohof Blumenthal eG
Aichach, Vokietija
Aprašymas
In this placement you will gain insights into a diverse ecological and sustainable agriculture. We grow 30 different types of vegetables, care for and milk 60 dairy goats, make our own cheese and run a plastic-free farm shop. Our products are also used to cook lunch for the community. So your tasks in this placement are very diverse. You will grow and harvest vegetables, take care of and milk the goats, make cheese and help out in the farm shop. After an introduction and some practical experience in all areas, you can choose your own focus of work, depending on your interests, and you can also implement your own ideas, such as building climbing elements for the goats or creating new types of cheese. If you like working outdoors, being in contact with animals and people and enjoy processing products, Blumenthal is the right place for you!
