About the workproject

We need 2 volunteers

I'm a retired person, just bought an old farm, that was neglected for about 10 years. Situated on the beautiful hills, seraunding lake Balaton, in Hungary.
Next year in April (2025) I'm about to start my project together with my lovely Thai woman that I married last year. Our goal is to plant a Ecological wineyard about 10 donams. Our land is in the middle of forest. In addition we will have an organic garden and provide our vegetables and fruits. Since the house needs renovation it's also a project.

We help I need is in all kinds of work, gardening, constuction, cooking etc.
We will arrange separate accommodation so it will be good for two people. We love this work and money is not an object. We're in no rush to anywhere, we just want to enjoy our doing. If you feel you like that kind of life your welcome to get in touch.
Take care

This is me. A cup of coffee and open space.
I'm 76 retired civil engineer, following my dream to live on a farm. Just bought this old farm and slowly plan to bring it to life. Quality of life is my most concern, it will be organic and hopefully supply all my needs.
I feel like a pioneer communicating with the lend, and love the old time way of life and tempo. Horse and buggy are fine.
