Workation
Volunteering and Vacation
Jeannette arrived in the East Tyrol this way: volunteering on a mountain farm.
“Workation” viewed in a different context. We practice this as a connection between helping out to our mountain farm - work - and discovering the numerous opportunities available in East Tyrol during your days off - vacation.
If you're interested in experiencing a lifestyle vastly different from urban living, volunteering on a mountain farm is a great option. Throughout the year, there are often tasks that we cannot manage alone without assistance. Alongside the family, this is also opens up an opportunity for you if you want to get a taste of our way of life.
In the summer months, hay harvesting takes center stage for providing food for the cattle. In spring and autumn, the fences around the grazing areas need to be set up and taken down. The forest also requires attention. We use old and damaged wood for our heating, which needs to be processed.
Almost all tasks are dictated by nature and no two days are alike.
