Description
Hi :)
My name is Marlene and me and my husband run a diary farm in South Iceland with 60 milking cows.
I am german and have been living in Iceland since 2012
We also have 4 kids, two dogs and three cats. And horses.
Our farm is family run and we do everything around here ourselves.
We live close to the famous waterfall Seljalandsfoss and the ferry to the west man islands is a short drive as well.
The next town 23km from us called Hvolsvöllur
We seek help to maintain the garden and the house. Like painting, gardening and light house work.
We're not looking for a full-time help in the cow stableTypes of help and learning opportunities

Painting would be nice. And stuff like that that takes some of the load from our shoulders.
