What is Kuckucksmühle?

(KuM)

Kuckucksmühle (Cuckoo Mill) is a historical water mill in the North East of Germany, (Brandenburg Federal State). We aim to restore the mill and its outbuilding, set up a Hackerspace / Hackbase and permaculture farm.

Kuckucksmühle is part of the Eco Hacker Farm project.

Anyone who shares our ideals is welcome to participate online or on site in the ongoing projects.

We would like people to come, share their knowledge and participate in community activities linked to restoration of the old mill and its outbuildings, gardening, digital and hardware infrastructure, organizing and planning the future.

We would like to increase our family of chickens from 3 to 7

You can sponsor a chicken with Eur 10, for this you can pick a nice name for it and receive a picture of the happy chicken in our garden. Furthermore you can cuddle your chicken and hand feed it when you come for a visit.

Our chickens and ducks (7 in total) are fed vegetable scraps and with GMO free corn mix at an average cost of Eur 1.25 per day, so if you would like to sponsor some food to feed your sponsored chicken you can add to to the donated amount.

Donate a one off amount to our pool by paypal, or a recurring amount using Liberapay. You can also pledge an amount and donate the money on your next visit, send us an email with your pledge amount to kuckucksmuehle@ecohackerfarm.org.

As a community we want to document our research and our projects so that other communities or the future us can replicate or improve them when we need to with minimum effort.
