As it was the first time as a Wwoofer for me, I didn't know exactly what to expect in the beggining. I arrived on a Sunday, installed myself in the room at the back of the Villa which, surprise ! had a piano - I enjoyed playing during my stay. I got all the infos I needed from one of the FÖJ: about the Villa, the chickens ("Huuuuuuuhn"), the bikes, the big fridges... and then I didn't know what to do. So I went to the living room and sat there with my computer and my book and then discovered one of the nice things about Wwoofing: people who do it are nice and interested in talking, I started chatting with one of the other Wwoofers.

I came away with much more than I could have imagined, and had the pleasure of getting to know some truly wonderful people. The other WWOOFers and volunteers were all upstanding people, and I made some really special memories during my stay. Markus and Ulli are incredible hosts, and make a lot of effort to involve everyone in their lives as well as the community. In short, I had a really refreshing experience, and came away with a strong reminder that you can still find decent people in the world.

Every work day was very different, there was plenty of opportunity for fitness (running, biking, yoga, volleyball, etc), cooking in the evenings, and quality conversation with very interesting and diverse people. I dive into opportunities like this with a good attitude and willingness to learn and try hard, and to anyone considering WWOOFing here, you can also have an awesome experience at this stellar farm with that kind of mindset!

Beyond the vegetables, though, I have to say that Marcus and Ulli are amazing. It’s taken me two months to write my review because words cannot sum up the impact the summer at Eulenhof has had on my life. I became interested in creative and sustainably sourced food when I studied agriculture in college. After grad school I decided to take some time to actually work in the “field” of agriculture instead of behind a desk. I asked Ulli for three things when I came to the farm:

1. To learn and DO the farming process from planting to selling
2. To learn and interact in German as much as possible
3. To have the opportunity to work with fellow WWOOFers throughout the day

My hopes were surpassed in every way. I learned so much from the FOJ’s (the long term interns on the farm), from the gardeners, and of course from Ulli and Marcus.

Unser Team war so international wie selten: wir hatten Wwoofer/innen aus Japan, Israel, Weißrussland, USA, Mexiko, England und Frankreich hier. Die meisten blieben dieses Jahr zwischen 4 und 8 Wochen, was natürlich sehr schön für das Team ist. Ende Juli waren wir mit dem ganzen Team in den Alpen. Unten findet ihr eine kleine Bildergalerie.

Hier die Erlebnisberichte:

I CAME BACK THIS FARM ONLY 2 DAYS AFTER I LEFT. It's enough to explain that how great the wwoofing in Eulenhof.

In just 9 weeks, I found my mom, dad and a lot of brothers in Germany even though my German and English are not good.
