Unfortunately , we need to write our restrictions as the first basis of our Wwoofer-Host agreement:
Everyone has their own history and tasks for their lives. We have good listening ears and encourage our guests on their life journeys to be inspired by life here. Our only limitation is that we are not able to offer therapeutic support for those in need of more than a healthy environment, work and service. We require to be informed beforehand of any medication or therapy being used or followed at the present time or recently in the past. We reserve the right to end the agreed wwoofing period on the very first day when we have not been informed and realize that we can not meet the needs of the requested Wwoofer. Smoking is not allowed on our grounds.
Former Monastery, Organic Vegetable Garden and Fruit Tree Orchard, Social Work Place, Group's Center, Non-Profit, Vegetarian. Help in the garden, grounds, buildings and kitchen. Wwoofers are welcome primarily in the garden season only
March to October. The garden season can sometimes start later or end earlier due to the weather.
With our 42 years of organic gardening experience, we are able to give our Wwoofers practical advice and inspiration for their own gardens. We appreciate motivated Wwoofers seeking to learn and experience the responsibility of being fellow caretakers of Mother Earth Gaia. We provide a realistic and instructive apprenticeship to organic garden and work full days. On warm summer days, we follow a split hour schedule, early and late in the garden, allowing time for swimming at the hottest times of the day.
We only have place in the late autumn and winter for experienced pruners of fruit trees. Our sister Slow Food affiliate Internos TS31, a beautiful Wwoofer project on the shores of the Wadden Sea accepts Wwoofers the entire year. We recommend them in the months we do not have enough work for Wwoofers.
Certifications: We are organic since 1984 before any certification existed
Type of work: Eko garden and fruit orchard, harvests processing - kitchen work and building upkeep.

We ask our Wwwofers during the working hours to have their phones turned off. A good way to detox from addictive phone use. Since we have a limited amount of Wwoofers we can take on, we give preference to those who garden or want to learn organic gardening and whose basic attitude is " How can I help?" Since we receive many requests, we prefer short stays of a week or sometimes 10-14 days in order to give more requesting Wwoofers a chance to enjoy this paradise!
Our Meditation/Yoga room is open to our guests for self practice before and after work hours.
