From sports shoes to rubber boots: a new start as a family
When Sara and Michael end their careers as competitive athletes, they have no idea they'll soon be knee-deep in mud. They decided to move from the city to the countryside with their children when they fall in love with an old estate - in need of renovation and six hectares of land. Soon they have a great idea. The family dares the adventure of self-sufficiency. A life according to the seasons, between work and fulfillment. How do you live next door to animals? What happens when the flood threatens the farm and the harvest?
"We wanted to go out into the countryside, but that far? As is the case when you're in love, all the arguments against it no longer counted. Too much work, too far away, too little infrastructure, too lonely. We are very happy that we dared to take the step into this little paradise and are now looking forward to sharing it with others." - Sara and Michael Niedrig
