Animal Farm Othal

You will support the school farm in feeding,caring for and lovingly occupying the diverse animals. Active support is needed for the expansion of the paddock. You will stay in the former estate of the Bülow family, which was built around 1860 and converted into a school hostel. The building is located at the gates of the rose city of Sangerhausen, surrounded by charming oak forests, orchards and fields.

In the hostel there is a big kitchen for the group. Please be prepared not only to cook there, but also to clean up afterwards ;) This will be done by the kitchen team of your group. Volunteers have to cook the meals for themselves. Please bring easy recipes from your home country.

The school farm is located about an hour's drive west of Leipzig and is surrounded by nature. The area around the farm can be explored by foot or by bike. The natural environment of our farm and the expert staff from the region offer a variety of opportunities for nature discovery and recreation, such as baking bread, churning butter, harvesting, and processing fruit.There is also a Kita with children age 3-6 years from the village integrated into the building.
