Description
*** If you are from Ukraine, please write us and we can talk about how we can help you! ***
We are a family of four, (mum, dad, 14 year old daughter and 12 year old son), living on a hobby farm in the woods in the south of Sweden. We would like to develop the farm but struggle with finding the time. There are a lot of projects running or possible to start up, depending of your skills and interest. We love animals and for the moment we have cows, sheep, hens, turkeys, rabbits, ducks, cats and dogs. We also have bees and produce honey. In a big pond we have crayfish. We are self-sufficient in meat and are producing some of the most common vegetables. We are very much into dog training and agility, and we have our own training hall with artificial grass. In town we have a rehabilitation and healthcare center for dogs.
We do answer every message, but sometimes it takes longer time. Thats why our relpy rate sometimes is low even though we do answer.

We had a fantastic time at Mia and Fredrik's farm. We were only there for 1.5 weeks, but the time seemed much longer as we were doing so many different and interesting things. Workwise, we cleared out half of a barn; prepared another barn room to be a butchery by removing heavy equipment and painting the ceiling; wallpapered a kid's bedroom;… read more

We spent almost two full months here what is a rather long time for a workaway stay.
But this was great because we could intensively get to know Mia, Fredrik, their two children, all the animals and the surroundings.
Our work there challenged us quite because we stood before many new projects. These have, however, caused us al lot of fun and we… read more

I spent roughly three weeks at the farm and had the most lovely time there! It was my first workaway experience so I didn't really know what to expect, but I got to try out very much different stuff, and also got my own projects suiting my interests, which made me pretty happy and made it not feel like work at all a lot of the time!

It was my second workaway experience and it couldn't be better! Very nice and caring family that after 5 days of honest work does not make you miss a Finnish sauna on Friday! They let me come last minute after a bad experience with another host, and I couldn´t be more grateful. I enjoyed every minute with them. Now looking out my window I can not… read more
