About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

In the age of climate change and global injustice, we ask ourselves if we have to change our consumption-oriented and resource-wasting lifestyle. A person who practices a consistently natural life is Friedmunt Sonnemann. He owns 4 hectares of land, situated in a forest near the small wine and tourist town of Bernkastel-Kues. He cultivates plants which are threatened or endangered and sells the seeds to various garden plot holders. The hut where he resides has neither a water pipe nor electricity, and the road leading to it is not paved. Life in this remote area (it is a one-hour walk uphill from the village) is not suitable for everyone, so the volunteers must be able to adapt to simple living conditions, live an organic lifestyle and be willing to avoid waste. Challenge accepted?!
