🏢 About the local organisation
Experience a unique alternative lifestyle and learn more about the diversity of crops. In times of global warming and rising inequalities in the world, we need to rethink our way of living and the way we use resources. Friedmunt Sonnemann is someone who has been living consistently a simple life for many years and made an alternative lifestyle a reality, [check this out](https://youtu.be/Zu_NPtxZtrQ). He cultivates rare and forgotten crop plants whose seeds he sells to allotment gardeners. The remote cottage is an hour's walk uphill from the wine-growing town Bernkastel-Kues. There is neither running water nor electricity in the house. Therefore there is a common room, spring water, and a telephone.
