COCONAT stands for community and concentrated work in nature.

We are an impact-oriented company: Positive social effects are fundamentally more important to us than profit maximization. We promote rural development through our innovative tourism model that combines workation, coworking, coliving, social entrepreneurship and maker.

Coconat creates an open and diverse community life where everyone* can pursue his/her individual and collective visions, in whatever field. The goal is an inclusive and inspiring environment for all people.

Our team members mostly live in the region, often only a few houses away. Many come from Brandenburg, some from other regions of Germany or even from distant countries. All enjoy the unique working atmosphere and contribute their talents to make this extraordinary project possible.

Our cuisine is vegetarian, often vegan. For lunch and dinner there is one dish from the buffet, which the cook (f/m/d) prepares and presents fresh every day. Meat, such as local game is only available on special occasions. Our vision is to be able to prepare the meals with a high proportion of organic food, at best from the region, in order to live sustainability also in the kitchen.
