Description
We are an English 🏴 & Swedish 🇸🇪 couple who bought an old dairy farm last year just outside of Växjö in Sourthern Sweden. We are new to the hobby farming / homesteading life and learning as we go.
We constantly have a bunch of projects on the go including fixing up our outbuildings, gardening, cutting down trees, building hutches for chickens and rabbits and more.. We are looking for a bit of help with the above in return for short term stays 🙂
